With the metaverse coming into the picture, the line between the virtual world and the real world will get blurred. How you are feeling in the real world will influence your experience in the metaverse, and what you do in the metaverse will influence the ads you’ll get in the real world. 

If you are annoyed by the lack of privacy you experience with targeted Instagram ads, imagine how annoying the ads at the time of metaverse will be. To avoid this intrusion, we will need an ad-blocking expert. Just like we use ad blockers for websites, we will need ad-blocking experts to block this ad. 

It’s no surprise that most of the jobs on the list revolve around strong technical or emotional skills. The one thing that humans have that AI can’t copy (yet) is emotions. Any job that doesn’t require emotions will be taken over by AI. So, to be ready for the jobs of the future you should start working on your technical skills and/or your emotional skills.
