"If you are the kind of person that would've gone to Yale, classically high IQ, and you have generalized knowledge but it's not specific, you're effed, There's some schools you maybe should go to, otherwise, go to the cheapest school and come to Palantir-or just come here. How do I impute the problem in this complicated device that's going wrong, that otherwise would be fixed by a Japanese engineer, while being a high school grad?"
"There's some schools you maybe should go to, otherwise, go to the cheapest school and come to Palantir-or just come here. How do I impute the problem in this complicated device that's going wrong, that otherwise would be fixed by a Japanese engineer, while being a high school grad? Those people are going to make a lot more money, specifically because you can turn it any way you want, Within a relatively rapid amount of time, you will get paid downstream of the value you create."
AI-driven automation and shrinking job openings are undermining traditional pathways to high-paying employment. Elite colleges that confer generalized, high-IQ-focused degrees produce broad knowledge that is increasingly vulnerable to automation. Employers will favor workers with specific, applied domain expertise who can diagnose and fix complex, real-world problems and thereby generate measurable value. Companies are recruiting talent directly from high school through programs that emphasize hands-on skills and on-the-job contribution instead of conventional four-year degrees. Individuals who develop narrow, tangible competencies will command higher pay and capture value more quickly than holders of generalized elite degrees.
