The great resignation has a large chunk of the skilled workforce in movement. But student debt is making it less appealing to pursue traditional credentials like a four year college degree. Tension!

how do we get more people skilled and let those with existing skills deploy their labor more effectively? I think that web3, presents a unique opportunity to decouple skills & compensation from identity and corporations. Flexibility drives innovation.

Workers are seeking replacements for the centralized stores of skills & proof, socializing, and networking we’ve used in the past. The hodge podge of self reported credentials and certificates we put up on LinkedIn or a personal website is a mess & only allows us one identity.

Some would argue that political polarization will require we either prove identity and in-group or lead us to pseudonyms (identity on/off switch) that let us be judged by work product and proof of skills rather than in group approvals and social validation.

Regardless, regulatory capture and special interest groups are now being viewed negatively as younger workers see them as expensive obstacles to career progression. If Kim Kardashian can take the bar without ever going to law school why should you go to law school?

One reason that chaotic is particularly interested in is stores of identity, proof of skills and proof of work capacity is that Web3 and decentralization will pick up the slack in labor markets for younger people.

We don’t want to polish our lives to get one job with a single employer when we know corporations shows us little loyalty. We’d rather find ways to optimize our preferred compensation package. Flexible contracts hours, remote first work arrangements, healthcare subsidies, max pay

Avoiding falling into low level service jobs means proof of work and proof of skill jobs. Automation is less of a threat than low level service jobs. Finding ways to get get paid for learning is going to make the jump from play to earn video games to play to learn universities.

Portable and “fractional” identities will be required in a future where one person with one job isn’t the norm. So how do we build different identities that keep us safe from context collapse while still giving flexibility and portability on our achievements & documented skills?
