# Career Paths

By learning, the player interacts with themselves, others, and the environment. The work paths a player decides to travel will affect their **Personal Life**, and the amount [$LIFE Token](/metalife/tokenomics/usdlife-token.md) they will ultimately earn throughout the Metaverse. It also determines which kind of Occupation the player will have at any given time. The level of occupation depends on their level in a given path.

## Positions Through Competition

At the highest occupational levels, [Players](/metalife/metaverse/players.md) have to compete to reach a given stage. For example, there cannot be infinite numbers of politicians, CEOs, COO, COO, etc. The deciding factor for how players will get into positions will be [Minigames](/metalife/metaverse/activities/minigames.md).

The victory of the microgames will heavily depend on a group of stats the player will have and the knowledge the individual players have.

### Work Specific Paths

As noted in [Life Skills](/metalife/metaverse/life-skills.md) the paths a player can occupationally move through are the following:
