I want to prepare my 10 year old for some potential careers. I know, I know, we should let kids choose what they like to do, but I think kids need some guidance and it doesn't hurt to present some strong options.
2030-2070 is my kid's working years. I'm thinking the following may be very potential from the perspectives of stability, job satisfaction, and income:
1. Genetic engineering. This field is just so new, it seems to me to have unlimited potential. Imagine if you can invent something to grow 3rd and 4th and 5th set of teeth...
2. Law. I bet people still like to sue in the future.
3. Finance. I'm in finance myself; I know this industry will always be high-flying. I just sometimes feel pushing money around is meaningless; but it pays the bills.
4. Architecture. Probably stronger in terms of job satisfaction because of the creativity element.
it's honestly really hard to say; especially for a 10 year old. The best thing you can do is instill a solid work ethic and the desire to go to college (and not some liberal arts BS)
Go to college for a useful degree like engineering or computer science. Tell your kid to gain internships during there time in college and maybe volunteer.
impossible to know because most of the jobs that will be making money in 2050 will not have a comparable degree today or even 10 years from today.
30 years ago environmental engineering was just starting to get into schools, HTML had not been invented yet and actually is no longer taught since it's already outdated. Social media still had 20 years to get invented so I would say besides the mainstays of the work place such as accounting, finance, marketing and human resources there's not much you can prepare your kid for because the field in which he/she works is not even a thing yet.
A lot depends on your 10 year old's natural talents/inclinations and interests. And it seems to me that with the human population only increasing, all those fields you mentioned will be already saturated with enough employees and applicants.
Reading the NYT and WSJ, in the future, there will be shortages for highly skilled mechanics and also for those in the construction field.
Anyway, make sure that your son has a solid well rounded education AND also encourage him to use his hands and embrace hard work. I think that if the two of you are too focused on him being successful in any of those fields you listed, what are the two of you going to do when life doesn't go as planned and the family is in severe debt from all that higher education?

Any thoughts on this?

Finance = IMO, will have some automation similar to accounting. Companies like Betterment have given roboinvesting bots credibility.
I don't know what to call for this kind of job, but I think there will be a new career for the future which is to invent more and more capable robots, operate them and know how to deal with them like dealing with humans now because robots will have lots of problems too. It's complicated. The dealing part may be harder or easier, I don't know. To sum it up AI (Artificial Intelligent) is the future. The humans eventually may be destroyed by robots.
