Prior to this day and time, if they had asked me if would have a career on web3 my answer would be a total no because I would know nothing about web 3 and all that it encompasses. But reverse is the case now as with my active participation and involvement with the hive Blockchain which is a web 3 social media platform that goes beyond just blogging as shapen my thoughts and realities on building a career path on web 3.
