Testing
I think, with more number of people vying for jobs in the field of Data Science ( And other closely related fields such as Machine Learning ), the number of people who specialize in testing has reduced. Thus, there is ( according to me ) a huge demand for testers / QA engineers.
Also, I feel that testing does not get as much limelight as the other fields do. A lot of times, any role in testing is viewed as a role that is not very challenging. As more emphasis is being given on TDD, and more programmers are being advised to use it, more people need to be made aware of the importance of testers ( and testing ) in a tech team.
Company I work for deals with many different physical products that need tons of testing. The testing and QA teams truly do work very hard to accomplish their work. Although I am technically part of that team, I work as an engineer developing automated solutions for testing, and the amount we can automate is very limited compared to things that can be done manually. There really should be no stigma against testers; they're an essential part of the development lifecycle for both software and hardware.
