LinkedIn CEO says fancy degrees will matter less than having these 4 qualities in the future workforce
"I think the mindset shift is probably the most exciting thing because my guess is that the future of work belongs not anymore to the people that have the fanciest degrees or went to the best colleges, but to the people who are adaptable, forward thinking, ready to learn, and ready to embrace these tools. It really kind of opens up the playing field in a way that I think we've never seen before."
"adaptability is the new currency."
"AI is changing rapidly. It's going to change the type of skills we want, the kind of jobs we're going to have. It's going to change where we go next in our career, and it's changing how employers are looking at talent,"
Business leaders increasingly prioritize AI literacy over traditional experience and elite degrees for many roles. Ryan Roslansky emphasized that adaptability, forward thinking, and readiness to learn AI tools will give workers a competitive edge and broaden opportunity. Microsoft found 71% of business leaders would choose a less-experienced candidate with AI skills over a more experienced candidate without them. LinkedIn reported job postings requiring AI literacy rose about 70% year-over-year. Employers are shifting talent criteria toward adaptability and AI skills as AI adoption reshapes required skill sets and career pathways.
