Communications majors' soft skills—conflict resolution, influence, persuasion, and inspiration—will increase in importance as AI advances and automates technical tasks. Tech job postings remain 36% below pre-pandemic levels, with entry-level tech roles down 34%. Entry-level roles may shrink as AI replaces some early-career tasks, prompting alternative pathways for recent graduates. A two-year entry-level rotation program could hire up to 100 early-career digital natives annually into a problem-solving pool. Participants would rotate across functions, discover strengths, collaborate, and generate innovative solutions, potentially improving retention and company performance.
What if computer science degrees weren't actually as valuable as everyone's been claiming?
It's like the new hustle those of us GenXer's learned climbing the corporate ladder or doing the summer job. There's going to be people that figure out, 'God, I'm really good at engineering,' or 'I'm really good at inbound product management' or 'I'm really good at finance,'
It's a problem-solving team with a mission and they will learn how to collaborate, and we will likely see innovative new solutions that existing teams wouldn't have come up with.
