Are online jobs the future of global employment?

[alastantiger]

The world we live in is evolving and changing fast. more people are earning income from their phones and laptops like never before. We all experienced COVID and saw how it affected the economy. Yes companies had to close but few stood their ground due to the fact that they had online workers who could attend to we the buyers/consumers without being in an office.
People are now acuring skills such as coding, free lancing, web development, programming and many more. Not just because their sick and tired of office work but because technology has made it possible for anyone to work anywhere, some even anytime. and earn without stepping into an office.
But my question remains. Are online jobs the future of global employment, or you see it as a phase just passing by.

What we are seeing is not a temporary phase but a structural shift in how work is organized. COVID only accelerated a process that technology had already made possible, separating productivity from physical offices. While not every job can move online, a growing share of global employment will remain remote or digitally enabled because it reduces costs, expands access to alot of talents and skill, and gives workers more flexibility. The office will not disappear obviously, but it will no longer be the default center of work for alot of businesss.

Competition exists in the traditional job market as well, and it's even more intense. Because many employers often set requirements regarding degrees, experience, and age. This makes things more difficult for many people, and the competition is much fierfier than when working online.
But ultimately, I agree with you, it will not be able to replace traditional office jobs.

What I like with this competition is that not all employers are requiring degrees and experiences. They also don't mind about the ages, at least this is for some companies. As long as you are confident that you can do the job, they'd hire you in a heart beat. But once you've failed their expectations then you have to be prepared for the consequences because they won't just waste their time and resource for nobody that have actually promised to deliver but have done nothing to contribute for the company. Online jobs or physical jobs, it's both applicable to that situation.

There will be more demand for online jobs from the use of the internet because people want something that is more of being a remote offer, whereby they could also add some other task to what they are doing than working all through the day on a single offer, therefore, today, we can see how a number of people have been involved in various job offers and hunts that are basically a remote offers.

We are actually in an era where making money online is easier, we the citizens of country are all depends on technology, because the era we are now is all about technology, people cannot do without being in touch with phone or laptop, everything we do is based technologies, our younger ones opened up on technology and it has become a huge benefit for them, because in any aspects or Government parastater today, you would be easily employed when you are very good technological aspect. However to make money online is easier than making it physically.

Many employers don't set limits on qualifications, experience, or age; instead, they focus on a person's ability to improve themselves and perform the given task well. To do a job well, one needs to improve themselves and be proficient in their field. Of course, experience, qualifications, and age are necessary criteria for doing a job, but the most important thing is how and at what level a person can perform the given task.

In some fields, a person's skills are more important than many other required attributes, and therefore flexibility in the required qualifications may be possible.

Yeah, that kind of advantages where you can multi-task and do some extra job to earn more, online jobs is very popular as it gives convenient to those who are seeing for some comfort, those who managed to succeed are no longer thinking of getting hassle going to the office and report in an 8hrs duty but instead they just access their internet and do the same task and most of the time earn more decent compared to those regular job that pay in minimum wage.

Before, many of them focuses on one's educational attainment and experience. But these days, for as long as you know what they're asking for that position, you'll be mostly hired. While the competition is also tough due to AI emergence, of course you have to upskill and step up from the others who are also likely going to get that position because they know how to do it. While there are still companies these days that value the educational achievement of their candidates because that's how traditional they are.

After COVID, those who created and sold all sorts of e-courses made a lot of money—for example, e-courses on programming, web design, and generally all the remote computer work you described. But now, by 2026, this will be completely unpopular because the market is oversaturated with these courses, and as all buyers have long understood, employers don't care at all about diplomas from these courses, since they are issued by unqualified teachers and self-proclaimed mentors, who don't always have any formal education. This term is called an "info bazaar" here.
