Applied humanities, I think, is going to need to be a thing.

giving students more ability to create their own major across disciplines.

So a mix of computer science and philosophy and neuroscience, things that allow them to really bring a unique perspective to the work that they do is something that's probably coming to education.

But

you wanna get to a place where you're really getting comfortable with constantly learning, that term like friction maxing.

There's something about that that I think when you're in college, you're learning these social skills, you're putting yourself out there, you gotta learn how to navigate different people, different settings, that's all gonna be huge as you get into work.

knowing kind of what are the skills and curiosities and subjects that excite you, that interest you.

And then again, like none of this is about one thing.

There's a great debate about software engineers.

And I totally agree with you, Scott.

I think that the headlines are inducing this great fear of a wipe out of work.

And it limits the ability for us to understand the agency we actually have within work as it's changing, not ending.

Software engineering jobs are up right now, so that doesn't mean that a CS degree is suddenly not worthwhile.

The part of CS that's coding, that's bucket one, that's AI doing more and more of.

But if you get a CS degree, you're coming into the job market with an ability to go after complex problems, with an ability to structure how systems and platforms exist.

Steve Jobs used to call computer science liberal arts.

So that in all of these degrees, you've got these core skills that you're gonna bring that are uniquely human as AI takes the efficiency work that have to do work more and more out of our day to day.

So I think it's really just knowing the tools, knowing yourself and trying to lean towards fields that are pulling you towards them, because you've got that curiosity.

And then just trust that it's gonna keep going as you get into the labor market.

You're not done with that degree.
