Is College / University Worth It? The Degree Was Never About the Job, and the Job Is About to Vanish Anyway (Ep 500)

Young people were promised a payoff for the degree, and it isn't there, and the anger is real grief aimed at the wrong thing. College was sold as job training, priced like an investment, but its real value was never the job. Two things have torn the disguise off: the credential stopped being scarce, and automation is deleting the entry-level work it was a ticket to, so by the time today's eighteen-year-old graduates, the job the credential trains for may not exist. Stated directly: universities have largely lost their commercial function, and the best they still offer isn't a feature of the credential, it's a feature of the person who committed to something hard and saw it through. So decide, consciously, what you're actually going for: to become a person, or to learn a skill the future will still need, and choose for where the world is going, not where it is now.Links:To explore the work, start here: https://starthere.codexofthearchitect.com/go/pod-500It opens with a free book, Before Approaching the Threshold, and fourteen days inside The Atlas, an intelligence trained on everything written and recorded, there to think alongside you on whatever you're sitting with.
