4. Organ Designer
People are living longer and longer, and pretty soon, instead of waiting for organ transplants when something vital begins to fail, doctors will find a way to create organs using that person’s own cells. Scientists are already on their way – some medical companies predict simple organs, such as bladders, will arrive soon – but organs like lungs, kidneys, and hearts are trickier because they are more complex.
How To Prepare Yourself:
Keep your grades up in advanced math and science courses, then study bioengineering in college. Consider Wake Forest’s program, which is working to grow more than 22 different organs and tissues in the lab. Whatever school you decide to attend, pack your creativity along with your toothbrush when you move in because this field requires a lot of inventive thinking.

I think that being able to take a vacation out of the planet Earth would be really cool. I agree with the fact that this will one day happen. Right now they are only sending certain people to go up there at a time. But doesn’t all new inventions start like that. Like when the airplane was fist invented only certain and experienced people were aloud to go on it but now with the advancement in technology anyone is aloud to go on it as long as you are willing to pay. I think that it will end up in the future you being able to take a trip to the moon and it won’t be out of the ordinary to go. Years ago nobody believed that an airplane would ever exist but then it was made and proved that anything is possible. It always starts with only the professionals doing it but then it always eventually leads to everyone doing it. I hope that I’m still aloud when this big change happens.
