What Will Boom? - 2018-2023

[ZF Lee]

Specific courses to success in one area.

The university bubble is about to pop and the newer generation are spotting its best to go to the source directly. Why listen to some lecturer who hasn't been in the industry 10 years when you can get direct advice from current niche specialists.

I have noticed a lot of younger people want to succeed in one area. They don't want to study twenty topics across the board with no depth. They go deep into one or two very niche areas.

I predict a huge online course & school boom.

While it is good to specialise in one particular area, I have found that the many problems on the Fastlane don't demand one skill or one field of knowledge, but several.

Take for example, writing copy. I have to not only think of the copy, but also other stuff like the general market complaints ( so I know what theme to base it on...on humour or sarcasm), background of the company and background of the target people who will see the copy and decide whether to buy. Not everything depends on going deeper.

I find some advice from the niche specialists more general towards the public rather than the executors, those who actually play the game. But I don't think there will be a fight between online and offline education. Both have their merits on their own. The world should continue turning hahaha

I would love to see VR boom so I can one day watch a live F1 race in VR haha. My only vice these days, can't kick it.

As I'm interested in product development seeing 3D printing boom is gonna be so so interesting. Can't wait to see what the future holds for it.

I am not saying what is best for Fastlaners but what I think the market will do. People want to go direct to the source. Look at the BOOM in youtube tutorials for example. Many can get one million views in a few weeks.

I agree though - I think the best is to combine a few of these courses with some real life experience and a new take on a niche.
