Is AI really the job problem for new grads?
I found this NPR story interesting because it pushes back on the narrative that AI is killing entry level jobs, and honestly, that matters for how we think about our own education plans. In my experience, the real issue is usually more nuanced than one thing, and the New York Fed data shows young adults struggling across the board, not just in AI-heavy fields. If you're thinking about going back to school or switching careers, I'd say focus on skills that connect directly to what you want to do in your actual job, rather than assuming any field is blocked off. The economists in this piece suggest it's about timing and fit, which means we have more control over our outcomes than the doom and gloom suggests. What's your take on this?
