How AI Is Changing College Majors and Careers: What Every Parent Should Know | Kevin Zhu

What this episode covers

How will AI change your teen's future—and should it change the way you think about college? If you're wondering whether your student's dream career will still exist in five or ten years, you're not alone. In this episode, College Ready founder Shellee Howard sits down with Kevin Zhu, AI researcher and founder of Algoverse AI Research, where he helps high school and college students conduct authentic AI research and publish papers at leading AI conferences. They discuss one of the biggest questions parents are asking today: How do we prepare students for careers that don't even exist yet? Together they explore: • How AI is changing the future job market • Whether students should rethink choosing certain college majors • Why coding and AI literacy are becoming valuable skills • The careers experts believe may be most affected • What parents should focus on instead of trying to predict the future • How students can develop skills that remain valuable—even as technology changes If you're worried about investing thousands of dollars in a degree that may look very different by the time your student graduates, this conversation will help you think differently about college planning, career readiness, and preparing your teen for an AI-powered future.
