4.4 million jobs will be created globally but only a third will be filled - easily the most striking prediction to come out of the Gartner Symposium this year.
14% of the world's economy is now transacted on line. There are nearly a billion people on Facebook and 5.6 billion mobile devices wondering the planet. All this creates unimaginable quantities of data. We are going to need a very large number of highly skilled data scientists to find the value in all of this, to help work out the next generation of business models that will change the world. And, human nature being what it is, we'll need nearly as many security experts to help us do this safely and wisely.
My guess is that we should start selling MSc shovels to these gold miners.
