How AI Made Bachelor's Degrees Worthless

Artificial intelligence hasn't just changed how we work—it's rewriting the rules for how we build careers. For decades, the formula was simple: get a bachelor's degree, land a "good job," and enjoy a steady income premium over those who didn't go to college. That degree was your ticket in the door. But in an AI-first economy, that automatic advantage is disappearing. Today, AI systems can write code, generate marketing campaigns, analyze complex datasets, and handle research tasks that used to justify hiring entire layers of junior, degree-holding employees. At the same time, AI-accelerated learning platforms are making it possible to build real, marketable skills in months instead of years. Employers are responding by caring less about what's on your diploma and more about what's in your portfolio. In this video, we're going to unpack how AI is quietly devaluing the traditional four-year degree—not by making education irrelevant, but by exposing how slow, expensive, and static it often is. We'll look at what companies now prioritize, how wage dynamics are shifting, and what this all means for your next career move. Because in this new landscape, your real edge isn't the degree you earned—it's the value you can create with intelligent tools.
