In the ’80s, nobody knew that web developers or social media managers would exist. The internet gave rise to thousands of new professions and business models and drove economic growth. The metaverse has the same potential to completely change the global job market as the mass adoption of the internet did in the ’90s, the social media boom in the early 2000s, and mobile apps in the 2010s.
The Metaverse is poised to become the next web revolution. 3D website developers, 3D artists and designers, metaverse influencers, web3 engineers – professions and skills that the market desperately needs right now. We also see a rise in powerful communities that create new web3 jobs. For example, Yield Guild Games created an ecosystem where people play blockchain games to earn money. This became a full-time job for most of them.
The Metaverse will also open up opportunities for coaches and teachers, providing their real-time 3D physical presence and physical interaction on a global scale. Imagine, instead of going to the small yoga center near your house, you can attend the class of a famous yoga teacher in a virtual room full of students from around the world, or attend your favorite guitar teacher’s class who recently moved to another country. Delivering a physical presence experience on a global scale is the greatest potential of the Metaverse.
The Metaverse removes biases that inherently occurred in web2, and positions itself as the ideal transition from 2D to 3D internet. Now, new jobs and business models that didn’t exist before do exist, such as cloud-based companies without bank accounts but with liquid global workforces that work across all timezones – it completely removes the boundaries associated with ‘traditional work’. Inherently, jobs within the metaverse that are fuelled by cryptocurrency are global by nature, i.e. you can be hired as something that was traditionally a physical-presence-only job, such as a tour guide or salesperson, and instead of worrying about green cards, visas, or local bank accounts.
I think many employers from the metaverse companies will agree with me that it doesn’t matter where the talent is based, whether or not they have a job permit, a degree, or even a bank account. If the talent does a great job, they can get paid in crypto in seconds and it actually doesn’t matter who they are or if they have a bank account or not. According to the World Bank Report, 1.7 billion people don’t have access to bank accounts. Crypto payments break the barrier. Companies also benefit, as their transaction fee is much less compared to the traditional banking system.
And that’s the beauty of the metaverse and blockchain technologies. Together, they introduce a fair, transparent and unbiased access to the global job market to anyone in the world.
