According to OpenAI's Sam Altman, the job market is about to undergo a radical transformation over the next decade. His take? College graduates will find themselves working in entirely new sectors—ones that don't even exist in today's economy. These positions will be centered around space exploration and related industries, characterized as "completely new, exciting, super well-paid" opportunities.

Altman's vision aligns with the broader narrative of technological disruption reshaping employment. Just as blockchain and Web3 have created roles that barely existed five years ago—from smart contract developers to DeFi strategists—the space economy is poised to generate a whole new category of high-value careers.

The implication is clear: traditional career paths are becoming obsolete. Whether it's satellite technology, space logistics, off-world resources, or commercial space operations, an entirely new frontier is opening. For those in tech and innovation sectors, this underscores a critical reality—adaptability and forward-thinking skill development aren't optional anymore; they're survival necessities.

Ha, it's Altman bragging again. But this time, it's a bit interesting. Remember when Web3 was saying the same thing? And look what happened... Space economy sounds really awesome, but who dares to bet that a few years later, there won't be new problems popping up again?

No way... Are you hyping the space economy again? I think this kind of rhetoric is just like five years ago when people said DeFi would change the world. There are actually people doing jobs that can make money now, no need to wait ten years. Altman’s ability to talk pretty is top-notch. Space exploration sounds impressive, but how exactly do you learn it? There are no textbooks on this... Isn’t this just asking us to figure it out ourselves? Bro, do you think these words are meant for VC talks? Just a smooth fundraising story. The problem is, how many people can really jump into this new track? It feels like it’s still the 80/20 rule in the end.

Bro, I told you, I've been tired of this jargon for five years. Back in the blockchain days, it was all about "disrupting the job market" and "high-paying new opportunities." But what happened? A bunch of newbies rushed in to buy in, and they're still stuck in the trap. Space economy is just like that, another round of "investment opportunities." I just want to hold my chips steadily now, no more fussing.
