Is Blockchain a Good Career?

[imstillthebest]

blockchain is new so yes because there arent still many workers on here which means there are still positions to be filled  but mostly they only hire developers and programers   .

 i dont have a skill on these and i think these are hard to do  but the pay is only big   . but i almost forgot that there are still bounties  , airdrops , etc that dont require a programming or a developing knowledge   .  for now this is the only thing that i do

I think so, getting involved with blockchain community will make you more knowledgeable about the crypto world and if you are one of that person, it would be a great advantage for you because as of now the government is most likely thinking the best way to operate some transactions online, they tend to do some ways to continue some things into the online system.

Actually, every career is really good, every career has it's own purpose in this world so all are important in the eyes of every people.

Yes, Blockchain obviously a good career! But it depends on how skilful you are! There is a twitter handle called @CryptoJobsList, almost every day they post crypto job alert, and the mentioned salaries are damn high! So, if you are good at UI developing, wallet and exchanges developing or expert in crypto coding then blockchain can be a very good career for you!

I have seen also the payment for the career of blockchain and it is really big, but I don't think that it would be easy to be part of blockchain community. It requires strong knowledge about technology.

[dersu18]

of couse! No doubt  Across global supply chains, financial services, healthcare, government and many other industries, innovators are exploring ways to use blockchain to disrupt and transform traditional business models. Many industry leaders have already achieved significant business benefits, including greater transparency, enhanced security, improved traceability, increased efficiency and speed of transactions, and reduced costs.

Of course, it will be in demand especially in the future. Blockchain requires deep knowledge and skills about it, so when the time comes that blockchain adoption becomes more popular, blockchain-related courses and professions will be more popular and could possibly one of the high-earning jobs.

That's why I also believe that blockchain technology should be widely taught in the Academy because it can be the future. As I've noticed in my country, there is still a lack of blockchain courses and lessons in schools, and I strongly believe that knowledge about blockchain should be strengthened because sooner, more entities will start adopting blockchain.

[bitbenzhong]

sure.The latest technology currently available to address centralization.
Big companies in the internet have set up separate departments for blockchain research, and I'm sure this will be a hot career in the future as more and more people with an interest in blockchain join!

Blochaink only brings stable careers to those who know and are good at this field. At the same time, it requires people who are good at computers, knowledgeable about the cryptocurrency market. This is considered a very high-income profession. But not everyone is good to make a lot of money!

So a database is a career now?

There are people who base entire careers on programming once piece of software from one company. You don't think something that may wind up being used by billions across the world in so far unimagined capacities has the teensiest bit of potential?

The hard bit will be identifying what survives and prospers. I wouldn't be best pleased spending thousands learning ETH shit when something better and simpler pops up out of nowhere.

You're right about that and the wages geven by the OP aren't really high when compared to general salaries of developers. Mobile game devs get paid very well, especially if you can work both on ios and android.
Of course database is a career field starting from a low technician like a data entry guy up to more experienced db coders who build everything from scratch. None of those big exchanges would work without a stable db. Front end is flashy but it won't work alone, unless you're not running a real service just a blog or a news site.

The amount of $ 50,000 is not considered big per year, especially if taxes are deducted from it, which may reach 30%, and most developers get that amount even if they are not familiar with programming.
Blockchain makes hiring easier because there aren't a lot of companies that have enough employees to work on coding, and you also learn some economic things that enable you to earn some money quickly.
Bitcoin trading is better than that.

Bitcoin trading may and may not be better than offering services in programming/developing due to the market volatility in nature which can causes huge lost of traders but i still consider doing both if have the time and knowledge.

We can say at least that this career would gradually gain popularity as we move forward in future years. Blockchain tech is something thats innovative

which can really be integrated on most industries in the world which would make even more efficient or make it much more better or improved, which means

people who do work with blockchain or do study will really have the advantage, maybe not now but in near future.If you do like to learn up blockchain tech

then that would be worthy shot to take.

There are a few issues, due to the informal nature of "outside the regular system" that some companies definitely try to exploit. That said, it really depends on the branch you're going for, just like people, different companies will go about things differently, some are more organized than others. If you know how to code, learn solidity and you can get solid work in any ethereum / ethereum based project.

If you don't know how to code and you still want to dip your toes in, maybe try community management! Seen quite a lot of projects looking for moderators for their socials, people knowledgeable in the blockchain, though sometimes it's just someone to reply and let them know they're being read / their issues will be forwarded to the correct party.

Hope that helps!

I'm sure it is. Blockchain like a new, fast-growing and high-tech industry is attracting more and more attention not only from large and small companies, but also from government agencies.
Even if an individual country or company has not yet decided on its attitude and position regarding the blockchain, this does not mean that it can be ignored. After all, this is a phenomenon of the present and future time. Those who do not have time to jump on the train will remain waiting on the platform. It is already now that blockchain technology occupies its sector in the labor market of it technologies.
In a sense, the development of the world of cryptocurrencies can be compared to the development of the Internet. At first, not many people knew how to unlock its potential, but those who managed it first-earned billions. And in the same way, you could not know anything about the Internet, but it spread like a web and penetrated into every corner of our lives.
Undoubtedly, it is very difficult to build a stable and successful career in the field of blockchain. You need to understand all current trends, be able to anticipate the market and understand modern technologies. But the complexity of the approach is justified by the profit that can be obtained not only in decades, but here and now.

That's not correct, anyone can take Blockchain career in as much your are computer literate. There are no new skills to Blockchain career apart from the existing ones. Many of these projects developers don't  have the rightful knowledge about Blockchain and cryptocurrency but because they have been into the system they have now fit into the system. Blockchain career is the best career that will good for anyone to have for financial freedom. Having the necessary skills is enough to make millions of dollars from thousands of projects around this industry.

You are confusing blockchain technology with crypto coins. Yes all crypto coins/tokens use blockchains but not all blockchains deal with coins/tokens.

The biggest growth and well paying fields using blockchain technology have NOTHING to do with crypto coins - they deal with tracking physical goods such as farm produce/products from field to market, electronics from component supplier to manufacturer to final installation (ssl/smart streetlights perfect example of that), and the recording of and tracking status of various contracts be they financial, trading and even civil property records. For those applications a private blockchain is used as a sort of immutable database.

One example of that involving very large scale lighting is https://www.ledsmagazine.com/architectural-lighting/article/14178583/outdoor-ssl-news-ameresco-supplies-oregon-and-signify-connects-new-york

Do a broad search using "Intel blockchain" or "IBM blockchain" to pull up info on it. And yes, you need to have decent coding skills along with a proper understanding of what a blockchain is/can be to do development work!

[Youghoor]

Absolutely! The blockchain industry is a young one and has a huge potential of being massively adopted in future. Once we hit mainstream adoption companies would be looking for the services of developers and other talents beneficial to the blockchain industry. I am currently  shaping my skills in graphics just in case a company wants me to be their graphic designer.

[Zionatin]

Blockchain isn't a career. That is like saying a computer us your career. What blockchain jobs? I am sure you mean blockchain devs. Where are you getting these figures of making 70-140k? How? By running a blockchain? You still have not explained to use how that money is generated. You can follow guides to make your own blockchain btw. Or just fork your own bitcoin blockchain. You do need to know what you are doing but you don't have to be a genius. Put it this way. The effort and time and knowledge it requires to launch and maintain a blockchain is not to work anywhere near these figures you are spitting out. You have to actually do something with your blockchain. Your coin needs to have use and its own value. Blockchain is just the technology, how you use it is how much you will earn. btw I love how you say from 70k to as high as 140k lol dude you can make billions if you know-how. There is no limit to how much money you can make with technology. It is liking asking how long is a piece of string. Thematically so long as the technology doesn't die you can make infinite money. You will die before then though.

Blockchain education is very important today, if traditional economists had had a Blockchain-based education and had knowledge of volatility in markets like Bitcoin, perhaps the world would have the best acceptance about the Bitcoin market,

The bitcoin market started with the technology nerds but then the rest of the people joined after that, the economist and stoke traders are all here in the bitcoin market and what you think about the rallies we had in the past, it was possible simply because the financial fund houses are investing heavily in bitcoin and so was the reason we saw huge rallies in the past and now the entire market landscape is changed completely from what we started in a short period of time.

As for taking blockchain as a career, anything that is new to the market is always a good career choice.

At last but not least, comes jobs at government institutions. You might not get the best salaries here but as you know govt. Jobs have their own benefits. The salary packages offered at govt. Institutions are even less than startup firms.

I agree with you, blockchain offers one of the best career and good jobs out there but most of blockchain jobs are temporary and seasonal and for you to have a thriving career in crypto community, you must be well equipt with high level programming knowledge to help people develop the kind of techs that fits there demand. So basically, if you don't have much of programming skill,  there isn't much of a career for you in blockchain industry

Im trying out to be a self taught blockchain dev even i do have different line of course but it turns out that it wont really be an easy path.

Main programming languages that would need up to learn since majority of famous projects now do use up this prog. lang.

C++
Simplicity
JS
Python

It wont really be an easy stuff but would really be worthy since blockchain development is rising as years goes by.

[Zemomtum]

There is no way, blockchain career will be most sorted for in the future based on its decentralized nature which is the kind of freedom that people have been looking for. GO language, RUST, Pyton and C language has been on top that is widely used in blockchain space, other programming languages are also important but speed and security is the most important thing to consider when developing in blockchain space
