I'm afraid I can't think of anything that does have a future. At least
nothing worth doing (serving hamburgers at McDonalds isn't very exciting).
The software business in general is a waste of time; if you create a useful

do that yourself, guaranteeing no return unless you charge robber baron
prices for support). Thus I've stuck with Ada...
