[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With so many articles coming out recently about how AI is likely going to disrupt the nature of work in the next 1-5 years, does it give you pause on spending so much money on college?

My kids are just finishing up their degrees so it’s a moot point for us, but I was wondering if my kids were in high school right now, would I discourage them from spending money on college right now. Basically let the world settled out for a couple of years and then see if it would be better for them to have that $150k vs a public university degree.

How has the speed of AI impacted your thoughts about college?[/quote]

My kid is 9 years from college.

What am I supposed to do? Tell her she doesn’t have to go to college?

First of all, no one knows what will actually happens with AI. The latest ChatGPT model is kind of a steaming pile of crap. Advances have slowed down.

I have a feeling things will even out, similarly to the dot com boom.

It’s preposterous to think AI will replace all professional jobs. Some careers will be impacted more than others and it’s impossible to predict where that impact will be.

At the end of the day, it’s better to be educated than not. [/quote]
