It will be something for which the following of true: - It involves the creation of a tangible or intangible product for which limited demand exists (e.g. books, theater shows) - It's something that's romanticized in popular culture - It's a career in which a very limited number of people make disproportionately large salaries - It will be somehow related to current trends or popular topics. I think I'll go ahead and place my chips on "politics." Well, let’s see. It will be something for which the following of true:

At the moment even money itself is nearly free, as long as you're too important or well connected to go bankrupt. Money is becoming a non-monetary economy. The future is a socialised commodity. The future is cheap. I suspect there is already to reason to work, no need to wait for a post-scarcity singularity economy, but old habits die hard. Habits which create a demand for work, all work is a form of acting afterall. All things tend towards commodity prices, economists say.

Still good money to be made there.
