    Many of us grow up with dreams of becoming a scientist, teacher, doctor or lawyer. Now, there are more career choices for young people.

    Earlier this March, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced 16 new professions. Some of these professions have made great contributions in the fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). Here we have chosen three for you. Let's take a look.

    Respiratory therapists

    Since the outbreak of the NCP, respiratory diseases have become a great concern. This is where respiratory therapists come in. According to US News, a respiratory therapist cares for patients who have trouble breathing or suffer from heart attacks, or shock. Due to their frequent communication with patients, they need to be adept at socializing, helping others, and teaching.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) trainers

    From Siri to robots on the assembly line, AI has become an important part of our lives. To improve on this technology, AI trainers regularly sort and add data to AIs to improve their analysis process, which helps AIs to better meet people's needs. Amid the NCP outbreak, AI trainers in the US, for example, used artificial intelligence to look for social posts that mentioned specific symptoms resembling NCP. Then, the AI created a publicly accessible map that attempted to live-track the virus.

    Prefabricated building constructors

    Erecting a building is quite common, but finishing its construction in a short period, even within a week, is highly unusual. However, prefabricated building constructors can make that a reality. According to Forbes magazine, they can quickly assemble a variety of components of a structure at a manufacturing site and then transport those sub-assemblies to the location of the construction site. During the NCP outbreak, Leishenshan Hospital and Huoshenshan Hospital were built in 14 days and 10 days respectively, thanks to the efforts of such skilled constructors.
