New technologies have made our lives easier. As our ways of communicating, working and performing everyday tasks have evolved, new opportunities for high paying careers have emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a look at four promising &#8211;\nand lucrative &#8211; jobs to consider that didn\u2019t exist 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Technology Evangelist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rise of mobile apps in the late 2000s created a demand for in-company technology advocates. Technology evangelists mix technical, sales and marketing skills to encourage the use of specific innovations. Once a role reserved for industry titans like Steve Jobs and Guy Kawasaki, technology evangelism has become a viable, accessible career option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evangelists serve as spokespeople,\nattending tradeshows and networking with industry leaders. They are also\ninternal change agents, championing new practices within an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.payscale.com\/research\/US\/Job=Technology_Evangelist\/Salary\" target=\"_blank\">The average salary technology evangelists earn<\/a> is $145,000\/year. Chief evangelist salaries typically exceed $250,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Successful evangelists have a technical background, excellent communication skills and are proven leaders.<\/strong> At EU Business School, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/en\/Programs\/Master-s-MBA\/Master-in-Innovation-Entrepreneurship\/Overview\/Master-in-Innovation-Entrepreneurship.html\">Master in Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship<\/a> program develops the creative thinking and executive skills needed to succeed in this exciting role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. UX Designer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays there\u2019s an app for everything. User Experience Designers make sure that products are both simple and enjoyable to use. UX Designers collaborate across departments with engineers, customer support, sales and marketing, and may work on research, ideation and user testing. <strong>They not only design the overall user experience but also ensure that products meet the needs of the business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Junior UX Designers earn between $50,000 &#8211; $70,000\/year, according to Glassdoor\u2019s salary data. Senior positions command salaries close to $185,000 a year. Businesses\u00a0in the US and Northern European countries tend to pay UX Designers more than elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To jump start your UX Design career, consider a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/en\/Programs\/Master-s-MBA\/Master-in-Digital-Business\/Overview\/Master-in-Digital-Business.html\" target=\"_blank\">Master in Digital Business<\/a>, where you will learn the essentials of digital technology and mobile strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ux-787980_1920.jpg\" alt=\"ux designer\" class=\"wp-image-27800\" width=\"828\" height=\"550\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Blockchain Consultant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blockchain, a digital database\nthat can be used to store and share sensitive data with a large publicly\naccessible network, is transforming business. The worldwide blockchain\ntechnology market is set to exceed $20 billion in revenue by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/blockchain-technology-next-jobs-boom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"blockchain technology (opens in a new tab)\">blockchain technology<\/a> is relatively new, companies need guidance to develop and implement a blockchain transformation strategy. That means the demand for blockchain consultants is on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blockchain consultants research, design, develop and test blockchain technologies<\/strong>. They are responsible for investigating how blockchain can be improved and better used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoinmarketjournal.com\/blockchain-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">salary for blockchain consultants<\/a> depends on the variety of services they are able to provide, but averages at $90,000\/year. The increasing popularity of blockchain technology, combined with a current shortage of talent with the requisite skills, means &nbsp;earning potential will continue to increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A career in blockchain opens\nopportunities in the varied sectors that are implementing this technology: banking\nand finance, energy, healthcare and real estate, among others.

Diversity &amp; Inclusion Managers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all emerging careers require a technical background. Diversity and inclusion are growing priorities across companies big and small. <strong>Many employers are making significant investments towards creating an inclusive brand and workplace<\/strong>. This has created a demand for specialists who can facilitate the move towards an equal and safe working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diversitybestpractices.com\/sites\/diversitybestpractices.com\/files\/import\/embedded\/anchors\/files\/diversity_primer_chapter_06.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Diversity &amp; Inclusion managers<\/a> in the US earn an average base salary of $90,000\/year.
