""I used to pay those guys 48 grand a year. Now they're $250,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week.""
""Everybody says you have to be an engineer. Now you wanna be an artist. Write stories, acquire customers, know how the social media platforms work...""
""These people in their early 20s are so valuable now. If you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you.""
Kevin O'Leary emphasizes that the most valuable job today requires a smartphone and social media skills rather than a degree. He has increased salaries for social media customer acquisition specialists from $48,000 to $250,000 due to measurable results. O'Leary argues that performance-based content creation is more valuable than engineering because it directly ties to sales and provides clear metrics. Younger workers, particularly those in their early 20s, have a natural advantage in this field, as they are adept at using social media platforms effectively.
