3-D Printing Professionals
It's unclear what new occupations may emerge in this emerging industry, or whether existing jobs from other industries will change, but the 3-D Printing profession is all set to be the next game changer in the tech world.

Along with this profession there is also equal opportunity for a 3-D production repair technician and process-development engineer who help to develop 3-D printing systems and processes involving new materials.
Wind Turbine Service Technicians

Wind turbine technician also known as wind techs are the professionals who diagnose and fix problems with turbines. Most preferably these individuals work on wind farms that gather several turbines into a central location.
