Regardless of the area of activity within this new ecosystem, one thing is evident and very important, the willingness to learn will be increasingly important to be able to remain competitive when competing for jobs in the future.

Things have changed very quickly, which requires us, more and more, to be an eternal apprentice to adapt to these changes and we are willing to discover the new on our own.

As it is a new area, much is still being developed and whoever is entering this world now, will be part of the construction of a decentralized future.

Search engines will be your best friend and the mastery of the English language has proven to be essential, since most of the content is in that language.

As it is a new world that is constantly evolving, it will be necessary to be willing to evolve together.

Because of this, the current school education system is perhaps not the most efficient. The knowledge and skills acquired during studies are becoming increasingly obsolete, even before graduation, because the main requirements for the modern worker are the commitment to lifelong education, the need to change professions and the ability to quickly master all the necessary skills.

The professional of the future will have to be a long life learning, that is, he will have to learn forever.
