A lot of people make the mistake of not making career plans targeting years into the future.

They believe in the old ways of thinking - that all they need is to acquire a certain degree(s) and land a job in a specific industry and work for years, retire on a pension and that's it.

This is no longer sustainable. In this era, some industries are going extinct, new industries are coming to life.

As you make your career plans, ensure you educated yourself on global trends. Follow industry/career experts on social media, to understand what will be relevant in the next 20 to 40 years, so, you can make great plans according to what the world is looking for.

After all, why would you want to engage in work that nobody cares about?

Some important pages to follow for global career trends, include; Harvard Business Review, World Economic Forum, Forbes, Entrepreneur...

Good luck!
