Software tech, drones, 3D printing and very maybe smartwatches could be big the next big things.

The problem is that you cant predict which company will be the first, most innovative and succesfull in any of these subjects.

Smart watches face the problem of all tech. Pretty soon they will be so cheap that there won't be enough margins. Less than 5yrs I'd say.

Home laser sintering for 3D printing has me excited in the near term, plus hololens / VR.

The problem with smart watches is that the only purpose actual watches serve anymore is as a piece of semi-functional jewelry. Look at all the watches that have come out in the last few years that don't even have the time on them and the fact that watches are sold in jewelry stores and not at all in Walmart.

Apple has a rabid fanbase of people who treat their products like jewelry and you can probably sell a smartwatch to those people, but I don't think the broader market is there for them.

How to succesfully sell products (by Apple).
1. Produce something good looking with potential use. People who like it and dont care for the use will buy it
2. With the time comes the use and even more people buy it.
3 Repeat Step 1. with new product
4.???
5. Profit $$$$$$$

I feel like accounting will be fully automated by the time I'm 40.

I just don't see any part of the job that can't be automated. And once it can be automated, the government will pass legislation requiring it to be automated so no one gets crafty with their taxes

Fair enough. I'm planning on saving up 50-60k and offering it in one solid check to people selling for 200k. If I offer to the 200-300 houses within range of my work, one might be desperate enough to say yes. It's really my only chance of dodging the death penalty we call mortgages.

Business Intelligence and Data Analysis is emerging as a legitimate career path, and not just some gimmick. Standards are being perfected, and executives are building rigid expectations from their departments that can only be addressed by someone with intimate T-SQL skills and the extroverted, detail-oriented personality type necessary to communicate the realities of the business.

Rules Design and Administration is going to replace most entry-level programming/development positions within the next 10 years. The software eliminates the need for pothead hackers who spend all day managing clumsy IF/THEN statements, and puts the department heads who create software maintenance requests directly in charge of updating the software themselves.

But, the guys who can create and maintain these Rules engine, these are hefty six figure jobs and they're growing in demand.
