Job opportunities in the Metaverse will be beyond our expectations with a lot of people having an interest and wanting to know more about this digital world. And in the Metaverse, it is possible to transition that real-world job you’re doing into a virtual job.
The creation of jobs traditionally is engineered by politicians with the aim to get the country to work and stimulate the economy. In doing so, they had control over the creation of jobs. But now, the next job creation scheme is unlikely to be engineered by the politicians.
Rather, it will originate from realms that they have no dominance over, and few powers to control. Which is the Metaverse, the virtual world where all things are digitized and that runs in likenesses to our real world, it is not bound by national borders, nor is it the place of social media companies cynically commandeering its name.
The Metaverse constitutes the Interconnection of a series of virtual worlds where humankind could recreate, interact and transact literally anything digital or virtual. As avatars are the representation of the users of the Metaverse, they are free to flit between games, meeting spaces, and markets, reenacting many of the tasks once constrained to meatspace.
What a lot of people don’t know is that the Metaverse is beyond just changing their avatars’ skin or balling with others in the digital space. Rather, it can also be for obtaining meaningful employment in digital worlds, areas, and spaces across the Metaverse that could be the building block of Web3.
Earning In The Metaverse
Looking at how super early the nature of the Metaverse is right now, it can be hard to say what millions of people working in a virtual world might seem like. Although there are already people who are proud to be full-fledged workers in the Metaverse space.
In the play-to-earn or GameFi sector, virtual pets move around freely with their human owners, which of course is an avatar in the digital world, petting, dressing, and training them. But it’s not just about recreation: in their respective virtual worlds (Metaverse), players can also collect tokens and other in-game assets and trade them for real money, spent in the real world.
Anyone from anywhere in the world can perform these tasks on behalf of the owners, and take it as an actual job, using the pet to collect tokens. Meanwhile, the owners earn money from lending out their stable of virtual pets without struggling to collect tokens all day.
It’s a simple economy in which all users benefit with their financial expectations and interest. Now, you might also be wondering, how can this model of earning work for Metaverse users higher up the chain.
People higher up the chain could be celebrities, and or creators, and for them, specialist platforms enable virtual experiences to be entertained in the Metaverse. Their fans can pay either with a unique NFT card as a ticket to interact with their favorite creators in the Metaverse, whether they’re playing chess with their favorite artist or learning new skills through a one-on-one kind of tutorial with a thought leader. It’s yet another example of the potential capabilities the Metaverse holds.
Meta-Work For The Masses
Not all of the work centered around the Metaverse will actually occur within it. Much of it will be in the backend such as coders, designers, testers, and developers. And for the millions of people currently employed in their real-world offices and on shop floors around the globe, the ascendancy of the Metaverse will only see their work transition to a virtual world not much different from which they are accustomed.
Real Estates
This alone provides tons of job opportunities within it in the Metaverse. Such as Flipping, Land brokers, Renting, Business, Events, Games, Land managers, Land designers, and so on. And as we all know virtual lands are already selling for millions of dollars in the Metaverse world on platforms such as The Sandbox and Decentraland. People are now getting so serious about owning digital assets.
Music
The Metaverse showed its worth in the music industry during global lockdowns in 2020, with over 27 million fans tuning in to Travis Scott’s Fortnite concert. Other enterprising artists have already experimented their way into the Web3 technology such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), using them as a virtual ticket to their concerts or to release limited-edition and exclusive albums and foster intimate experiences with their fans. The quickly evolving immersive Metaverse will push up this capability to a new level, providing tons if not endless ways to monetize and engage with fans.
Fashion
Louis Vuitton, Nike, Gucci, and other fashion brands are putting in their effort to be a part of the Metaverse action, and the reason is clear. A world where millions could interact virtually, while represented as avatars provided tons of opportunities for them. It was like a gateway that paved the way to where they could contribute to this virtual world. Since in the Metaverse you can pick however you choose to be, people need not to worry about their gender, body type, and whatnot when dressing. Models will do their thing on virtual catwalks, and fashionistas or designers will make big pay just to dress their avatars in limited-edition threads from the greatest brands.
Movies
Metaverse gives movie actors the capabilities to use their digitized doppelgangers to interact with their fans and sell experiences that incorporate one-on-one time, and all these without them actually needing to leave their comfort zone.
Conclusion
As the Metaverse continues to materialize and its goal is becoming a reality, the job opportunities it provides will take everyone from the regular real-world jobs, toiling for change, to the rich and famous. Although not everyone will be interested in playing and interacting in the Metaverse, but just like the internet itself, we will be more prosperous because of its existence, and the sooner the Metaverse becomes massively adopted the better our life will become.
