Is Blockchain a Good Career?

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Definitely it is a good career to choose for high paid jobs but the opportunities are really less in numbers than other traditional jobs so it depends on the users mindset whether they want to take risk of their life or just go with formal one. If you are young and not have much responsibility then you are very ft to take that risk.

This is not right. who said that the opportunities are less? there are tons of opportunities in the blockchain industry. startups and companies are willing to hire people. just go check some of their Career pages. they always have open positions. check websites like https://crypto.jobs and other job boards. and mainstream freelancing sites like Upwork is full of blockchain jobs and lots of new jobs posted every day.

it all depends on the skills and experience. in some fields, we have a lot of people who provide a specific kind of service like Bounty managers, Campaign managers, ICO marketing agencies, etc,  and in some other fields, we have shortages of skills like Smart contract development. coding. full-stack development. java and python and solidity developers. if you go to the mentioned places above. you will always see open positions in these categories.

There are really tons of opportunities that you can join and start a career in the blockchain industry other than joining airdrops, and signature/ bounty campaigns in this Bitcointalk forum. So if you have talent, knowledge, or skills in programming languages, smart contracts, video editing, graphic design, and content writing; you have a chance to get one of these positions because some projects are looking for these fields.

and also our attitude towards prospective employer.
if we are accommodating and skilled then for sure we will get more clients and income in future.

 Blockchain is a good career, it also helps in the advancement of technology different types of websites and bitcoin help a lot in transactions but at work it will depend on our skills. Although blockchain technology is improving it is not possible to achieve a good career without knowledge and skills. It is good to have training and work experience related to blockchain. It will help a lot in the way of development and the work of the website will become much easier.

Cryptocurrency may have a rough way ahead, Blockchain technology is already a success. Not only are they used for digital tokens with monetary value, they are also used to identify and verify various things. They are being tested for communications between IOT devices, autonomous driving, verifying the originality of products in retail and the applications are numerous, many still not even ventured. Blockchain would be a good field for anyone.

Of course, blockchain is a good career field. The average blockchain developer salary is as high as between $150,000 and a whopping $175,000 a year (in the USA).

[Cera]

It all depends on who wants to take it up as a career because as we know, people are different and what works for you doesn't necessarily have to work for another person. It is all in how you take it. There have been a lot of downsides to blockchain because of the security risks that are associated with it. It has had several losses because of hackers in the past and it is not the best option for you if you are not able to properly secure your career and do whatever it takes not to be noticed by the hackers. It thought about it in the past and decided not to take blockchain as my career for the meantime.

You can say that there's indeed a demand into this.

The dynamic increase in popularity and the number of companies created thanks to this technology shows that the trend should strengthen in the coming years. However, keep in mind that many companies do not have real prospects. Paradoxically, these are companies that successfully raised money from Initial Coin Offering in 2017-2019. They later had nothing to do because it's hard to do something if you don't have an idea for a product that will solve real problems. Fortunately, many companies also exist which can radically change many existing solutions, for example, in the traditional financial sector. It is definitely worth joining companies of this type. Before you will do it, it is worth have knowledge and skills that will allow you to estimate the company's future and its potential.

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, However, in Spain they have already taken these aspects into account, that is why they have included in their blockchain pens, the link is here:http://catedraiecisa.etsiinf.upm.es/campus-blockchain/, but it is in the Spanish language, but I put it as an informative means that everything is on the right track.

Knowing more about Blockchain technology during this time is wisest thing to do. Blockhain is the future, and getting yourself early into this king of technology gives you some steps ahead from the people who doesn't engage themselves. In my country, various groups are offering free scholarship to take up a course related to blockhain, I believe that anyone who pursue this field will be one of the biggest success story in the future. Is Blockchain a good career for now? Yes, but its the best time first to study and know more about it.

[budi691]

blockchain has been widely used for everyday life, so it is only natural that many people try to continue learning Blockchain including me, because in the future I believe there will be a lot of Blockchain technology for our lives, and this will be a good career for all of us if we can master it. blockchain technology.

It's one of the top 10 careers to choose during these years and for me, it would become and most popular in next few years. Blockchain technology is trending these days and I saw many companies looking for that field. I just don't know if universities offer a course about it now. It's difficult to find someone expert in that field that is willing to teach in those schools.

To learn blockchain technology, you need to learn programming languages first... Only with good knowledge of programming will you be able to know about blockchain... Everything consists of commands and lines of code...
Knowing programming you will have a good career not only in blockchain!

[proTECH77]

Yes, blockchain is a good career someone can aquire to develop his self and businesse. Many people who really understand blockchain and how it work for someone to use it to beautifer his businesse and to make a good rank in the forum. It will make you develop in profit making any time you are trading in the market. Many who study blockchain in higher institution have so much knowledge in the forum concerning bitcoin when to invest or where to invest and make a good income.

That link would surely be helpful to interested users (like me) to boost their knowledge regarding Blockchain Technology. The closest we have ever been to Blockchain Technology is only the way on how Blockchain works. We only know its basic meaning but learning deeper about Blockchain is a good career since most companies today wants top notch security which Blockchain offers.

[ChrisPop]

I think Blockchain development is a good field to specialize into, especially for already existing developers who know how to think algorithmically and in terms of computer programming.
Blockchain is for sure a skill/knowledge for the future. Everybody should know at least the basic things about it, not necessarily the more technical things like how to create one full scale blockchain.

[emmybd]

Blockchain skills are in high demand. On account of the many fields of application, this new technology is trying to recruit them with efficient skills to navigate. Of course, like any other fantastic job opportunity, not everyone is looped for these opportunities. One must have or attain skills that set him/her aloof or want an employer to entrust him/her with their investment. However, the use of blockchain is far-reaching.

Banking Sector:
This is an important application of blockchain today. Banks rely on a clearinghouse to exchange drawn checks and settle arrears. A distributed ledger does this in real-time. Banks no longer have to wait for official clearinghouses to operate, but can use blockchain technology at other banks and for depositing money.

Supply chain management:
How to repose track of thousands of items from building a car to building something on a smart device. Most of it has sent a dozen different vendors spread around the world. The goal of blockchain technology is to make this efficient and easy to manage.
Government projects: Many government-run jobs will soon be controlled by blockchains. Complex transactions such as tax refunds and subsidies can be made transparent thanks to this new technology.

IoT: 
Control over thousands of autonomous devices may seem tough today. Until a few years, however, most IoT will be controlled by blockchain technology. The records of all activities will be managed by the leader who distributes the various components of a smart grid.

[mangsitin]

of course, blockchain is a good career.  I see it from the security side of the transaction.  Due to its advanced cryptographic protection system, this technology offers a much more secure experience than traditional banking.
 The fact that the technology is decentralized, and cannot be changed or edited makes it ideal for financial transactions and storage of important information.
 Blockchain is useful for maintaining user privacy, but unfortunately this image is sometimes considered the payment method of choice for cyber criminals because Bitcoin network nodes do not have to reveal the identity of the person making or receiving the payment.

Agree to it, blockchain is a next-gen technology and many businesses are now using it in their system.

Actually, even if you have a small foundation in programming, you can still have a career in it since there are many open sources right now about it. One of my schoolmate's projects is blockchain and I realized that even I can do it.

Blockchain is very high demand right now, I've joined plenty of groups in social media that's related to it and it's really true that they're looking for some people that are capable of developing it. So blockchain is definitely a good career that everyone should look forward to, it's modern technology and I know that a lot are adopting it now.

[DarkDays]

I agree, if you wanted a career in blockchain you will surely not be out of work and be able to have many contractor type jobs. Many institutions, specially

financial ones, are now turning to cryptocurrency. And we all know that you can't have cryptocurrency without a blockchain 

I just don't know if universities offer a course about it now. It's difficult to find someone expert in that field that is willing to teach in those schools.

By now many countries have recognized the value of blockchain and as such universities around the world have started providing courses for blockchain.

Some of these include renowned universities like Imperial College London, New York University and perhaps no surprise there with the University of Malta
being one of them.

A list of them, can be found here.
