There are a range of jobs that will provide careers in the future, in the areas of High Tech, Medical technology, Social Media, Mobile Developers, and Energy Conservation careers applied across a broad range of traditional careers that have been updated with a technology twist.
For example: Watch this video:
"Choosing A College Major To Prepare For the Hot Jobs of the Future - ABC News."
1. Green Jobs:
Creating Jobs for the future. There will be jobs in Conserving Energy, Weatherizing, and other Clean Energy areas. New Job Skills training dollars are available from the Federal Government.
Here are two examples from Van Jones from the White House Council of Environmental Quality

2. Mobile Developer:
Mobile devices sales are growing faster than desktop PC sales. This presents a new opportunity for developers to reach more people across the globe. There will be a need to create mobile applications on these devices. Here is one example from Google's Android Development Demo. P. S., Apple also has a development kit as well.

3. Import/Export Consultant using High Tech.
For example, small businesses are entering the growing exporting business with the help of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, by learning the rules of selling overseas, changing their websites to include other cultures.
For example http://www.pizzaovens.com learned how to become a "Worldwide Restaurant Equipment Specialist". They are a distributor who expanded their market by selling pizza ovens overseas. Later they convinced other dealers to let then sell other products overseas and now they are a success.
If importers can sell U.S. consumers toaster ovens, why can't U.S. small businesses export pizza ovens?
"In the first 11 months of 2010, U.S. businesses increased their exports by 17 percent over the prior year, to $1.7 trillion," according to the Wall Street Journal.
Mutual trade between countries is not a win or lose proposition. The Jobs of the Future will include selling outside of the U.S., which will provide jobs at home.

5. All industry sectors will open up an opportunity to go mobile and transforms how society becomes a connected world. An article titled "Mobile Makes Millions — But It’s Not as Simple as It Seems | Wired.com" reports that its not a specific business model that will capture the market, it is the individual service that each consumer selects that counts. Therefore, there's room at the top and the bottom for everyone to stake a claim, even with today's methods of text-messaging, social media networks, blogging, websites, and email. It's all about information and business trade in a connected world.
