Occasionally, trends in technology have the ability to shift into larger, more dramatic trends that can certainly cause a shift in the economy as we know it. Within the last decade, and even so more recently, the drone (UAV/UAS) sector has managed to do just that.
Considered everything from "toys and gadgets" to "clandestine military operative machines," drones have such become more relevant than ever before, and have found ways to penetrate our economy, and the job market in ways unimaginable.
As the "drone services" market size is expected to grow from $4.4 billion in 2018 to $63.6 billion by 2025, it is no wonder why demand for this technology is on the rise, and so are those who hope to be behind the controller, operating the complex machines.
