4% of Americans Quit Their Jobs Due to Crypto Earnings
One of the main areas that people started to look at is crypto. A survey by American analytics firm Civic Science found that 4% of the nearly 7000 people interviewed had quit their jobs, while 11% personally knew someone who had left their jobs thanks to substantial crypto earnings obtained over the last year.
Interestingly, most of the people interviewed were low income – or responded for people under the $50,000 revenue threshold. The majority of them were looking at crypto as a long-term investment.
Crypto is regarded as one of the current best hedges against inflation. Indeed, some industry enthusiasts became lucky and wealthy during the pandemic by simply investing in the right cryptocurrency. However, many more people shifted to crypto jobs as the blockchain industry expanded to include DeFi, NFTs, and the metaverse.
The Need for More Healthy and Creative Jobs
The Great Resignation has signaled a quest for a more healthy and creative approach to work, with exciting opportunities arising outside of the traditional professional positions.
The metaverse, NFTs, and DeFi can play a crucial role in providing a work frame where productivity isn’t the result of boundaries like hourly work and hourly wages but the convergence of incentives and personal values.
The Professions of the Future
Software developers, all kinds of designers and engineers, and architects are all traditional works that will shift into the metaverse as these professions will be increasingly required to serve the parallel world. NFT and the metaverse will deliver the creativity and entrepreneurship currently missing in most professional careers.
Let’s not forget the incentives to participate in metaverse play-to-earn economics, which offers money to play games. It is generally believed that blockchain will offer a crucial function to gamers, especially in play-to-earn, where high demand for projects in the decentralized gaming community is already in place.
Jobs in crypto PR and marketing are so far offering great opportunities and will continue to boost in the future. Along with creative writing, storytelling, and community management, the metaverse and crypto will shape the future workforce in fashion, the travel industry, and all possible fields that require human intervention in a world where robotics risks replacing people.
