Part One:
Based on an older video from 2007, called "Did you know 2.0?" it is mentioned that Many of today's college majors didn't exist 10 years ago (which that would mean 1997 since the video is from '07). Some of the majors that were listed were New Media, Organic Agriculture, e-business, Nanotechnology and Homeland Security.
I believe that every few years, there are more new degrees added to reputable colleges and universities as our workforce changes and adapts due to new advancements in technology and the needs of our culture as a whole.
A great example of a career field that is nearly non-exsistant today, but was a booming business in the past, was that of travel agencies. There used to be designated, brick and mortar offices that one would go into in order to sit down with an agent to plan and book a vacation package.
However, thanks to popular sites, such as Hotwire.com and Travelocity.com, anyone can easily go online or visit their apps and book everything you need from airfare to hotel rooms. And you can do so 24/7 all from the comforts of your pajamas!
