My pet job from your list is probably the drone dispatcher, but I am biased being a developer of a new drone ideal for that purpose…

I think there will be a whole spectrum of new jobs, or things maybe more appropriately thought of as work modes.

Interestingly, there already is a sizeable community designing digital clothes, mostly as a kind of “Paid hobby” in various games environments. It would not take much effort for those artifacts to be converted for more practical new real world use as you’ve described. All of that effort previously carried out “For love”, could actually be monetisable in the new world of the future.

Also related to that are avatar body and shape designers. We can imagine in the future when the AR and VR worlds collide, there will be all kinds of possibilities for those kinds of skills to be applied to prosthetics and sports aids design, jewellery and tatoos design, hairstyle design, stage and dance choreography and tuition, the list is virtually endless really.

Traditional jobs with a distinct worker/boss type relationship I think will become much less common; people will have far more ability and freedom to choose to just market their own creative and collaborative data, but there will probably always be a core of people who prefer one or the other traditional worker/boss type roles, so they likely won’t completely disappear either.
