Keep in mind that 70% of the jobs that will exist in 20 years don't exist today. Think back to 1988. At that point there was no Internet and no e-mail. You've got be willing to continually reinvent yourself. The typical American will have 5 careers and at least 15 jobs. Be ready to go back to school if necessary. As our economy changes, you've got to move with it.

Depends on how you measure it, but looking back to seeing how this would evaluate from each decade starting from 1900, I'd say it's pretty reasonable.
Not completely improbable. 70-80% of the US population did work in agriculture in the 1870s, and it was down to like, 1/3 by the early 1900s, and 2-3% now.
I find it interesting that theyre claiming that this will be true in such a specific manner. Is this worldwide or US based? That would be relevant given that a lot of offshoring of jobs has been of jobs that would exist in the US had they not been offshored.
And if theyre talking about only the US, Id be curious about how theyd come to such an exact number. People have historically been bad at predicting the future.
refers to U.S. jobs

who the fuck wrote this shit? the internet has been around since the 1960s. you just had to be a high energy physicist or an operator on a military base to use it.

Follow the shit your fellow monkeys say @shitWSOsays
Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid - John Wayne
As far as jobs changing: 70% is overblown. Medical, accounting, police, law, education, construction, firement, etc... will always be there. Still, it's cool to know there's so much room for innovation....
Considering Clark Howard's audience, I doubt many people on this site give a shit.
Lets predict what kind of jobs will exist in 50 years
Inter-stellar commodity trader: brokering deals between asteroid mining cos and countries
Country resource swap trader: taking the currency out of the equation and creating investment vehicles that trade directly between countries (ex: venezuela provides energy to north brazil in return for soybeans. Now this is done through currency, in the future you could buy a note taking the currency away)
Gov't PE advisory: Just how PE now buys a company and improves it and sells it back, countries will allow PE firms to come in, buy a piece of a gov'ts role in a major industry (say, the copper regulatory authority in Bolivia), make the regulations more efficient, then sell it back to the gov't for a piece of increase gov't revenues from that industry.
interesting article. hopefully we make it past dec 21, 2012 first.
made it
