Social media, YouTube, Twitch influencer? I was one of those kids born in the mid 80s that grew up wanting to be a video game developer, while spending time online during the early stages of the internet. The idea of being an online influencer wasn't a thing that existed back then.

Now, I hear that a lot of kids want to be YouTube stars when they get older, and there's obviously an endless stream of people trying to be Instagram celebrities.

So, that's a ship that came after video games for the next generation, and it has likely already sailed for most since the market is flooded.

Another one is mobile app development. 15-20 years ago I played around with a Palm Pilot, but no one considered app development as a career at that time. Now look at that industry. That was a big opportunity for people growing up in the early 90s to get in while it was taking off.

Consumer expectations of software prices driven to zero by app stores, hard to make a living without being sleazy...
