[quote=Anonymous]New graduates with unique tactile skills and blue-collar adjacent expertise are getting high-paying jobs. I work in tech vc and every futurist report points to crossover trends that include something with tactile/physical kills, e.g., if you're just a CS major coder or an econ major turned analyst, you will be the first to be replaced by automation/AI, definitely sooner than the high-school dropout who works at the McDonald's drive-thru. But if you're a CS or engineering major who specializes in dental equipment robotics or construction machinery, you're getting competing job offers. I personally know multiple new Ivy grads right now having a lot of "coffees chats and conversations" but no job offers; the one kid I know with multiple offers is from Virginia Tech. He did some random internship/summer job at a hospital with the surgical prep team and somehow made himself an expert in 3D printing one-of-a-kind replica models that hospitals use before high-risk surgeries. Top hospitals pay millions for these equipments and 3D printers and they have a hospital full of PhDs and MDs who don't know how to operate them, neither can their current technicians who only know how to turn on and off the machines but not how to use them in first-of-its-kind situations. This kid is being flown around to make custom models for the best hospitals in the world. He could retire by age 35 at this rate. [/quote]
