Futurists

Work Environment

Futurists work in typical office environments and have a standard workweek (Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). They occasionally work at nights and on weekends to finish reports or other assignments. Futurists travel to industry conferences and meetings, as well as to conduct research in other states and in foreign countries. Those who work as college professors typically have summers off, and many use this time to develop their own consulting businesses or work on research projects.
