Building an Onchain IRL Career Exploration Movement

salmanneedsajob

For a long time now, I have been on a pursuit to identify what I need to be doing with my life. My approach to figuring that out has manifested itself in different ways, from identifying my interest in creating content, using that to explore different careers through my video podcast, finding the fascinating world of DAOs and committing to contribute to the space, and sort of learning on the go exploring what's possible with web3.

However, my mission remains to help propagate ways for others to get exposed to various careers and potentially identify work they'd enjoy doing. Following is a thesis for a proposed solution for said mission, and I am working on bringing it to life. I have submitted it to Nouns Prop House Garden Round, and you can read it below.


Premise

Too often, we witness seasoned professionals navigating through careers that leave them unfulfilled and yearning for more. Their jobs and career paths are often dictated by early educational and professional choices, leading to a continuous cycle of unfulfilling careers, stifling their true passions and potential.

In this proposal, I would like to present my blueprint for a transformative approach to career exploration, through a strategically designed IRL + onchain journey focused on a singular mission of career enlightenment.

The dream

A global network of creatively engaged communities within schools, united by a shared interest in career exploration. A community built 1-school at a time and scaled through a cc0 blueprint that includes an event franchise, high quality media, NFTs, and Prop House. A onchain savvy community that treats and uses blockchain as they do the internet through the culture inculcated by whoneedajob.⌐◨-◨
