New professions and jobs in high demand
In the past, there weren’t so many jobs in the technology industry. Now
there are lots of new jobs available in this field. Take, for example, an
online marketing manager. Before the growth of the internet most
marketing jobs were based in offices. Marketing managers worked with
pen and paper, and with printed newspapers and magazines. Now a lot
of marketing is done online. Online marketing managers are
specialised in this kind of marketing. You can even go to university and
study to become an online marketing expert. Online marketing
managers are in high demand and are important for many
businesses.

Exercise p. 15
However, although there are lots of new professions in high demand, there are also
a lot of traditional professions that remain very popular. Every country around
the world needs doctors and nurses, for example.
It takes a long time to study to become a health professional, but when you finish
your studies you can be sure of finding a job anywhere in the world! Doctors have
very stressful jobs with long working hours but they are usually paid a good salary.
Nurses also have a very difficult job, and have to work very hard, though they do
not get paid as much as a doctor. It can be a challenge to gain a place on a
university course to become a doctor as the profession is so competitive. It is
often a little easier to get a place on a course to become a nurse.
