Metaverse is made up of two words, ‘Meta,’ is a Greek word that means ‘beyond’ and ‘verse,’ which means ‘a universe.’ Meta, a parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is launching a virtual world, blurring the line between the real and virtual worlds.

It will be accessible through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. The need to develop and maintain this giant virtual world is creating many job opportunities.

Below are some of the job opportunities that are going to be widely in demand in the next five years:

• Professionals will also be needed to tell people how to operate this new technology.

3D Object Developers
