Neural nets are currently being used in areas such as visual pattern recognition. In the future we can probably expect some important advances in this area especially as the engineers who design neural nets work more closely with scientists who are uncovering the secrets of how our brains work. One thing that probably jumps out at you as we speak of lawyers and radiologists is that these people make a lot of money. The average radiologist in the United States makes over 300 000. In fact we can reasonably say that software jobs or knowledge worker jobs are typically high paying jobs.
