definitely I am much more concerned
about the education system at the moment
as an educator myself I have so many
students around the world I truly
believe that the whole academic
education it's not enough to provide the
necessary training and a knowledge for
young people to get them ready and
prepared for what's coming up in the
future if you're paying further for the
past now if your goal is to be an
accountant a lawyer engineer that's
perfectly fine I mean you need to go
through the process the traditional
education system the challenge is a lot
of those jobs that they are preparing
for by the time they graduate some of
those jobs may not be available anymore
some of them may be obsolete some of
them are just a few years away from
being replaced by an AI or machine
learning robots before we took about
okay you know I can always get a job at
McDonald's so I don't be so sure you
look at McDonald's where they're heading
you notice when you walk into the
McDonald's before they have all the
cashier and now you will see those
kiosks the self checkout you'll notice a
trend is they're shrinking and shrinking
and shrinking how many people that they
need in order to be a cashier to work in
the kitchen is only a matter of time
where a lot of those jobs and functions
will be replaced by robots and machines
that's where we're heading why because
machine doesn't call in sick days where
she can work 24 hours a day you could
have a couple of people operating and
then they would function it gives the
corporation much more leverage a machine
doesn't have a union big company that's
what they do to cut cost and to run more
efficiently and that's for a capitalist
society and that's what happens you'll
like it I don't like it you can [ __ ]
about it you can comment below it and
complain about it but that's it's what's
happening what you could do as an
individual is to prepare yourself how do
you make sure that you're equipped not
just to survive or thrive in this new
economy or what I call a skilled economy
we're no longer in the job economy what
used to work back then doesn't work now
see think about back then you go to
school get good grades get a degree you
get a piece of paper and then you will
find a good company to work for
and that's fine and you would climb the
corporate ladder the problem is things
are happening so quickly
maybe back there and the company that
was good may not be so good they are now
being disrupted by other new companies
coming in so there the whole job
security is an illusion what the only
thing you count on is your own skill set
meaning that you got your skill set you
know the value that you could provide in
the market place you're earning money
with your intelligence and your skill
set what you could do versus just
counting on a piece of paper I mean
think about it comment below if you are
a student or you just graduate how's the
job hunting so far we're able to find a
job very very quickly well you're able
to find the ideal job that you want very
quickly oh well you are you just lie
still searching still lost and not
knowing what to do so going to school
four years six years getting into tens
of thousands of dollars hundreds of
thousands of dollars in debt to most
people it makes sense you still they're
still saying it makes sense your parents
are telling you it makes sense right but
somehow my debt to me like think about
it how much the salary is today compared
to how much school tuition if you look
at a Tran you study I mean the cost of
Education academic education has gone up
and up and up and up yet the base salary
has not gone up in parallel you look at
those numbers you know something is
missing something is wrong versus having
a skill set and this is why I see idiots
on social media and it's not your fault
you've been brainwashed to think in a
certain way you've been brainwashed by
society by your parents think a certain
way four years of school hundreds of
thousand dollars in debt no guarantee of
any success or even getting a job even
you do get one how long will take you to
pay off your debt well that is perfectly
fine that is the way to go there is the
ticket to success and yet taking an
online course for a few thousand dollars
doesn't have to be from me I know the
[ __ ] trolls we're gonna say all
dangers trying to sell you of course I
don't give a [ __ ] about my course
investing yourself learning a skill for
a few thousand dollars for a few months
for six months whatever might be
starting off not nonnegative
not starting in debt you're starting in
just with the base or somebody that's a
scam
so self education is the scam education
that's over price with no guarantee of
success takes you four years studying
90% of stuff that you're never gonna use
that's normal that is saying you tell me
what is saying so to prepare yourself
that's what I see the ones who think oh
by the time I graduate I got that piece
of paper my life is set you are [ __ ]
but you have to do anything about it I'm
not talking to you I'm talking to my
students but you listen to me and say
hey you know what that is not good
enough I need alternative I need to
learn some new skills maybe by the time
I graduate my education didn't stop my
education just starts it starts the
moment actually graduate because now I
can actually learn what is useful what
is practical what is something that I
could use right now that I can put in
the market place maybe that's the case I
don't know it's up to you
right however you want to lead your life
it's all up to you what I'm saying is it
is idiotic it is naive to think oh just
let me study let me do my thing and that
piece of paper will say if you eat won't
last ten years compared to the next 10
years the next 10 years would not look
nothing like last 10 years you talk
about disrupting industries you talk
about technology
you think umarz is safe that's an uber
driver I can always be an uber driver
are you sure I'm counting the days
uber no longer uses the drivers then now
what do you do I can work at McDonald's
I'm counting the days
McDonald doesn't need as many people to
operate I'm counting the day all the
franchises all the fast foods
restaurants you go to youtube you type
in Alibaba Hotel you see Alibaba they
have developed a hotel operates almost
100% by robots even checking in cell
phone face recognition your door the
kitchen order that all robots you only
see a couple of people at knife and
front deaths just greeting you that's it
they run the whole hotel just think
about that and think about that multiply
to all the hotels around the world how
many people will lose their jobs what
are they gonna do go back to school what
are gonna do comment below share with me
your thoughts job economy skew economy
what are you doing
to prepare yourself what are you
