I mean depends on who you are, right?

If you're a young person, I think the pressure to just start doing things from young to pick up work experience has gotten so much higher.

I think in the past, you know, college kids could get by, you know, college, get a good job, even if they didn't do any internships.

And then you see that whole internships arms race happen in college, everyone's like trying to get

And then that obviously stacks up to, you know, social capital plus like some base level of skills, which makes you I guess more employable because you know your employer doesn't think that I have to spend the first three, four months like training this guy.

And he's really like shown that he's a pretty good like junior level worker.

I guess the scary part and I think we've really seen this challenge for a country like

Singapore where you know low cost labor is very available in neighboring countries, you really have a fair bit of like offshoring of like junior level jobs, right?

Junior.

And then now it's like full exacerbated because your junior level workers are now equipped with AI and emerging markets are three, four X more efficient outputs and outcomes wise um for a fraction of the cost of a Singaporean.

Yeah.

How do you solve that?

I don't know.

I think Singaporeans probably just need to actually think about

about being more entrepreneurial and like learning how to manage teams, create value, create opportunity instead of thinking about how do I find a job because I think there's gonna be way less jobs in the future with all these challenges.

So what's a shit job or shit major?

Because I remember when I was entering university in twenty nineteen.

Yeah, computer science engineering was like the hottest shit, right?

It's like the highest paid degree once you graduate from like NUS or wherever.
