Will AI Make Trade Schools the New Path for Young Americans?

Jerremy Alexander Newsome asks Spencer and Dave to forecast how AI will reshape America’s workforce over the next 25 years. Spencer predicts corporate slides and analytics done by AI, pushing young workers toward trade schools and hands-on skilled trades. Healthcare becomes more efficient and potentially cheaper. Dave says the U.S. lacks coordinated workforce planning like Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and Japan. Younger workers feel uncertain while older ones fear being boxed out. Spencer urges learning AI and its drawbacks without overcommitting. The old American deal broke due to expensive debt-financed degrees and unaffordable housing. Invest, avoid crushing debt, build people skills and real-world connections.
