The five fastest jobs in tech Infographic about the five fastest jobs in tech
1.NASA engineer
The fastest spacecraft in our solar system is Voyager 1, which zooms through interstellar space at a speed of about 17.05 kilometers per second. However, we used to build them faster: the fastest spacecraft ever was not sent to other stars, but to our own sun. Helios II, launched in 1976, reached a speed of 70 kilometers per second, making it the fastest man-made object ever.
2.Internet engineer in South Korea South Korea outperforms anyone in the world and has been the fastest internet country for the past years. If you want to work in the internet business and you want to do it at the highest possible speeds, South Korea is the place to be. In 2015, the average internet speed in South Korea was 22,2 Mbps. For comparison: in the Netherlands, the average speed was "only" 14.2 Mbps.

3.Computer engineer in China According to the TOP500 list of the world's fastest super computers, the Tianhe-2 takes the lead with 33.86 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark. The computer by the name of Cartesius, reaches a speed of 1 petaflop per second, which is as fast as approximately 100,000 average PCs combined.
4.Formula 1-technician
The highest speed ever recorded in a race was achieved by Antonio Pizzonia in a Williams BMW: he drove at 369.9 km / h during the Grand Prix of Italy in 2004. As the rules prescribe for the cars to be built by the teams themselves, you can imagine jobs in Formula 1 engineering are very sought after.
5.CERN technician
CERN is not only the birthplace of the Internet, but it also houses the world-famous LHC particle accelerator. In the LHC, protons are accelerated up to 99.9999964% of the speed of light, and since the speed of light is more or less how fast you can go in our universe, you might say that you will not find a faster job than a job at CERN. And if you work at CERN, you will help writing history.
