Being a VRMMO gamer is not as limited nor as useless a skillset as some might think. Especially not for someone like Kirito, who has the intelligence to actually do things on the technical side of that industry.

He also has possession of the only known sapient AI in the world, which isn't something to sneer at, although he would never do something like announce that to the world and put Yui at risk.
It was mentioned in Volume 9 that VRMMOs were used for military training. In volume 7, it was used in medical practices. In a side story, it'll also be used for prostitution :P

It means that Asuna's father would more than likely accept Kirito as a son-in-law because he married a farmer's daughter rather than someone with status (i.e. Kirito) - pursuing happiness over family obligations/expectations. Asuna's mother wants her daughter to marry someone along the lines of a politician or someone that holds sway in large corporations.
