About this episode

Phil Black discusses the misconception that a college major is the most crucial factor in determining future earning potential, especially in the context of AI's impact on the job market.

In today's episode, I dispel a myth circulating around the internet suggesting that your college major is the most important factor in determining your future earning potential. I beg to differ. Yes, your college major is important, but it is not the deciding factor, especially with AI disrupting the job market in such profound ways. Please give this episode a listen if your child is wondering what to major in, or how their major may impact their job prospects after graduation.
