Employment prospects are not great for the current graduates, and future projections are even worse. Nobody will need all these accountants, lawyers, finance analysts, etc. etc. What is the point of paying $$$$ for education that will be obsolete in 5 years? What kind of jobs will this generation have with the archaic education they are offered at colleges? |
Yes they will, they need mid level and experienced talent. If you hire no one out of an entire generation, you won’t have workers to do your more sophisticated “deep knowledge” work in 5-10 years. There’s also a lot of non-managerial jobs that need human labor but could greatly reduce workplace deaths and hazards with ai systems.
If no one has a job, no one is buying products, which leads to all these companies crashing. We will continue hiring people even if they’re less efficient than the code generator |
I don’t know. Having a nice four years where you do nothing but learn shit sounds pretty appealing to me. Would do it every decade if I could |
Well…the kids who are experts at AI to do accounting or finance or law or whatever will be the ones that get jobs.
I know that no MD at an investment bank or PE firm is going to learn to use it…so they will still need analysts to churn shit out. |
AI or not, my kids will be college graduates. Thanks. |
Let me guess. Next you are going to propose trade school to us. ![]() |
This is a really dumb comment. First, despite all of the hype -- it is not that bad for current grads. Just not as good as past years. And it is easy to see why. No reason to think that will continue. Yes everyone will still need professionals. The jobs could change and maybe there are less of them. But they still will be there in great numbers. Remember someone has to run the AI. There is no reason to think that a liberal arts education will be obsolete in 5, 10, 20 or 100 years. AI changes everything and it changes almost nothing at the same time. That is the core of AI. |
The point is learning things. Stretching the brain. |
Its value is yet unclear. Ezra Klein speaks with an expert about this very subject in this podcast episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ezr...4447?i=1000708298931

As of now, AI doesn't pose much of a threat to the professions you name. However, right now, at this moment, AI is the worst it will ever be. It will only get better. How much better is the question. We don't know if AI companies will hit a wall or not before reaching 'AGI', and it's business as usual until they do. |
AI is crap and using it a lot makes your brain mush.
Either our country becomes even more stupid and sedentary, or we vote for politicians who will regulate AI. I hope the latter. Please rush the enlightenment. |
Currently AI has evolved enough to stop being able to have computers do actual math correctly. |
If you're saying here that AI can't do math, it can. You just have to tell it to use python. |
AI erodes critical thinking skills. College/education builds critical thinking skills.
Many business/industry/tech experts believe critical thinking skills are going to be the most important measure of employability in the age of AI. The dumbing down of America will be our downfall, there is an attack on education at every level. Pay attention, it’s a Brave New World out there and I know where I want my kid to land. https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/ Eric Schmidt Ted Talk https://youtu.be/id4YRO7G0wE |
