You're not over before you started if you don't have a degree.
You're just gonna have to keep learning
and growing as you get into work.
I go in rooms now with folks around my age, and one of the things I like to ask is raise your hand if what you do day to day links to what you learned in college.
And on average, I'd say no more than one or two hands goes up.
Most people are doing day to day what they've just developed over the course of their career.
Skills they gained, things that they learned,
I just gave you my quick background.
I didn't mention where I went to school.
It's kind of the least relevant part and the degree I have, the least relevant part of what I do.
So just trust you're going to have to keep doing this stuff after you get out.
But handling hard well, the resiliency stuff matters a lot.
You learn that in the social dynamics.
And then just trying to figure out how you're going to land in a place where the stuff you're good at is something that you can get paid for and that you see growth potential as work changes.
Yes, we are overstating, I think, AI short-term impact.
It's felt for workers mainly in these headlines that say either work is done or this entire job category is done or this percentage of jobs is going away.
And the reason we're overstating it, like what's interesting about the gap to me is
We're forgetting that like none of this is determined.
None of this is inevitable.
AI doesn't have the answer of where this is going.
