It is quite evident that the current generation of VR headsets are heavy, uncomfortable, and lack a lot of necessary sensors

2. Software Developer for the Metaverse:
The internet has grown from #Web1 with static only pages to #Web2 where users can interact and edit the webpage
#Web3 will require a whole new set of software developers to code and build on a new platform
8/
We will therefore transition from Web 2 to Web 3, where users can not only update webpages but also live inside the web
Developers who learn new coding languages to create 3D renders for the Metaverse will have a headstart over others who are stuck in the old paradigm
9/
3. Digital Costume Designer for the Metaverse:
We already live in a digital world where we communicate and hang out in little metaverses like @discord, @instagram, and @telegram
Nowadays, we buy and wear expensive costumes primarily for posting pictures on social media

Since this is a digital realm, there will be a completely different approach to design and manufacturing "DIGITAL COSTUMES"
11/
People who are passionate about Art, Metaverse, and Fashion will undoubtedly be hired to meet the incredible demand of the metaverse costume market

4. Cybersecurity Officer for the Metaverse:
The digital world will open up endless possibilities for hackers to steal

5. Storyteller for the Metaverse:
Humans have evolved from telling stories to their children in a cave using just words to sharing stories with other humans (as well as their own children) through the use of books, movies, photography, paintings, and other forms of art.
15/
A shift in paradigm to a newer world will require a shift in the way humans share stories within the digital world
People who are skilled at thinking creatively and are also good at storytelling will be the new Picassos and J.K. Rowlings of the metaverse

6. Community Builder for the Metaverse:
Humans thrive and evolve in communities
As social animals, we will definitely need people around us, even in the digital world
The Metaverse will be a doomed world if there is no dedicated effort put into fostering communities

Tech giants will only be profitable if they are successful in building a community in their metaverse
As a result, they will actively hire individuals with extroverted personalities and superior communication skills to manage and strengthen their Metaverse community

7. Research Scientist for the Metaverse:
Any industry that intends to grow significantly needs to invest in Research & Development
Since the Metaverse is a new industry, there is a lot of demand for Research Scientists

The Tech giants who create the Metaverse will require research scientists to optimize the digital world to make it "livable"
Individuals who are good at deep learning, computer vision, computer graphics, psychology will be needed to envision and create new digital worlds
20/
8. Data Scientist for the Metaverse:
A data scientist's job is to analyze data for actionable insights
They use data to understand and explain the phenomena around them and help corporations to make better decisions
As of now, we have ZERO data about the Metaverse
21/
As new Metaverses emerge, there will be a tremendous demand for experts who can analyze the data underlying digital economies in order to maximize profits for Tech giants
People passionate about Web 3 and who are skilled in data analytics have enormous future potential

9. Ecosystem Developer for the Metaverse:
All of the above-discussed parameters must be put together into an ecosystem
The hardware, software, digital costumes, communities, data analytics, and background research must all be coordinated by the ecosystem developers
23/
They also serve as a "BRIDGE" between the digital world and real world
People who can multitask multiple domains at a time while being knowledgeable about real-world legislation will be best equipped for the ecosystem's development and government funding
24/
10. Data Privacy Experts for the Metaverse:
Tech giants are predators when it comes to USER DATA
Have you ever wondered why something you intended to buy in real life would afterward appear as an ad on your Instagram feed?
25/
That's because the Tech giants continuously monitor you in the background!
In the metaverse, the hunt for data will be taken to the next level
It should come as no surprise that tech companies will make every effort to obtain the user's metaverse activity data
26/
Hence, data privacy experts will undoubtedly serve the metaverse in order to ensure that users have privacy and ownership of their data
They will act as our guardians from the tech giants that are desperately trying to sell us ads
27/
Individuals well-versed in information security and data protection laws and practices will become the most sought-after individuals by users (not companies!)

All you have to do now is take the initiative!
