Are you prepared for the future? What if we told you that philosophers will play a key role in it? We had a fascinating conversation with the brilliant Dr. Seth Benzel, a Digital Economist from MIT and Assistant Professor at Chapman University. He shared his insights about the transformation of job market landscape, the rise of new types of jobs, and the profound impact of AI on jobs and productivity. We explored how universities are stepping up, investing in STEM education, and how they can play a pivotal role in reducing inequalities and stimulating growth. 

Ever heard of luxury jobs, last mile jobs, or new tech jobs? These are part of David Autor's taxonomy of future jobs and they're not as far away as you might think. We also delved into the increasing wealth of the top 3% and the subsequent rise in demand for luxury services. What does this mean for you? Well, we chatted about the importance of teaching philosophy in universities and striking a balance between STEM skills and interpersonal skills. We rounded out our conversation by discussing the increasing compensation for leadership and cooperative jobs. Ready to equip yourself with the right skills to remain competitive in the modern job market? Then you don't want to miss this episode!
