With the advances in technology and Artificial Intelligence, it is not very difficult to deduce which are going to be the higher degrees with the most job opportunities and the most in-demand professions in 2024 and the coming years.
All careers related to Internet security or robotics and Artificial Intelligence, are the best rewarded at an economic level.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the development of technology and Artificial Intelligence, there has been a paradigm shift in the way many companies operate. As a result, many companies are obliged to obtain digital skills and the ability to adapt from each employee.
This involves strengthening soft skills, such as the ability to communicate in several languages, especially in English, but also to have the tools to express oneself in the best possible way; empathy, leadership and conflict resolution are already indispensable in today’s world of work (Google’s Project Aristole).

A career means hundreds of job opportunities
Your education can give you a direction, but you will choose your own path and you will build it step by step. You can study any of the degrees with the most job opportunities and combine it with other training or passions in your professional and personal life. Whether it’s living an experience in the university residences in Barcelona or in another European city, with young students like you or travelling and volunteering. Everything you experience and the networking you do during your higher education studies will contribute to your professional life.
You can graduate as a doctor, but then work in an NGO travelling around the world, in a research centre or even in scientific dissemination. Another example is Lisa Sanders, a columnist for The New York Times and a doctor who advised the writing team of the famous series Dr. House. You see? A career gives you many other opportunities in the world of work.
Hard skills are super important and your education will be key to achieving them, but developing your soft skills is what will make the difference between you and hundreds of other job applicants.
