Will college degrees survive the incredible pace of skill shifts?
Rohan and David explore the future of learning in a world of shrinking skill lifespans.
David reveals a jaw-dropping stat: the average half-life of a skill (the time it takes for a skill to become half as valuable) has plummeted from 15 years a few decades ago to just 2 years - making skills obsolete in a flash. Lifelong learning is now an imperative, not just a nice to have.
Rohan and David also talk about:
- Whether college degrees are becoming a thing of the past or stepping stones to lifelong learning.
- “Jailbreaking” the traditional college degree and how to thrive in today’s digital age where technology outpaces classrooms.
- Strategies for thriving in a job market where adaptability is the new currency.
- What AI means for the skills of the future
- How Degreed acts as a personal learning GPS, guiding towards relevant skills and career pathways.
