To contextualize: it is estimated that 65% of the children entering primary school today will work in jobs that do not yet exist.
Opportunity for few? Rather, these changes are generating great opportunities for those who understand themadapt and train in what are considered the jobs of the future, a much closer future than what is believed.
And it’s through the continuous education of new skills that appear the opportunities for those who are encouraged to take them.
Skills and not University Degrees
Although our grandparents and even our parents probably had a job all their lives, most of us have had not only multiple jobs, but also multiple types of jobs or jobs in multiple disciplines.
It is that the future of work (and the present) will not be about the university degree that each professional has, but that more and more it will be about (and is about) the abilities that each one has and what they can build with them.
And if we pay attention to the formation that is needed to incorporate these skillsmany times we find the opposite of the traditional college majorswhich typically require four to six years of formal education to graduate.
Today, incorporating these skills is possible both as a self-taught student in the myriad of free tools that we find on the web, and also by studying for a few months in programs specifically structured to teach us the basics of a discipline and get us out into the job market. Because a lot is learned by doing. And the sooner we go to market, the faster we will learn.
And that is what makes opportunities available to everyone. Today education is significantly cheaper (or free) and access to jobs is much fasterallowing more people to access.
New technologies on the rise
Just as there are jobs that will gradually cease to be required, there will be other new ones that will progressively demand labor.
One of the fronts that we see in full growth refers to the web 3 world that is supported by technology blockchain (chain of blocks), a set of technologies that allow users to keep a secure recordsynchronized, decentralized and distributed of different digital operations, without needing the intermediation of third parties.
So, put like Web3 Engineering Lead They begin to appear in the companies that have the greatest focus on these technologies.
Another clear example of growth in jobs is the metaverse – a virtual world in which people can live, have fun, work, shop, interact with others, build a house, go to concerts and more. Everything from the comfort of your living room chair in the world we all know.
And in this field there are multiple jobs, many of them oriented to software development or 3D design for this type of system, but some also similar to historical industries such as real estate, such as Real Estate Agent, whose main objective is to market land in the Metaverse.
programmers wanted
In the last two years, the demand for programmers grew exponentially and is already among the three most requested in the world (Engineering and those related to services continue at the top of the ranking).
A programmer can, working from anywhere since he only needs a PC and an internet connection, for example, design applications for smartphones, specialized programs and video games – In recent days, the video of some Argentine fans cheering on the team in the Qatar World Cup while working remotely on programming went viral.
From a labor point of view, the programmer usually has “full employment”He earns salaries well above the average and to the extent that he demonstrates originality and creativity, that plus can make companies dispute his services, Getting to charge from 3 to 5 thousand dollars a month if it is captured by a multinational or a renowned national company.
At the local level, the remuneration is not negligible: about 200 thousand pesos for a Junior programmer, a figure that can range between 400 and 500 thousand pesos per month for a Senior.
