Digital Labor Book: Chapter 5 - People: Managing Labor & Retraining The Workforce


Listen Later

Do you need a college education to succeed in today's workplace?
Tom is of the opinion that the business case for a college degree is rapidly eroding. The student debt levels in this country are into the trillions of dollars, and this burden could last you until you are 30, 40, or 50 years old.
Even some of the best degrees are lacking, and as a result, graduates aren't equipped to deal with the practical applications of new technology in the workplace - which requires further time training.
In contrast, Tom proposes a 2-year degree and a 2-year apprenticeship vs a 4-year school. This chapter explores that notion a little bit more in the context of new ideas on how to better manage labor and retrain the workforce.
