These are the headlines I love to see 3 days away from my college graduation.

I’m guessing leadership in a lot of companies is huffing the AI fumes. Why spend months training new employees if existing ones can use AI and be twice as productive (of course that’s not necessarily how this works). That explains why tech companies have tens of billions to throw at AI each this year

I think this is all really just a sign that the white collar job market is tanking fast. I work in urban planning, and we went from a boom during the pandemic when planners were retiring in droves and the rest of us were shuffling jobs for more money, to the present where hiring has slowed way down. The feds laying off a bunch of community planners from agencies like USDOT and FEMA is going to make competition for those of us in state/local government and the private sector even more fierce. I wouldn’t want to be a new grad urban planning or GIS major right now.

Gonna remind everyone here that *the* most complained about issue of the times in this sub is *the median voter,* and that while it isn’t perfect, college seems to be the best available cure for um… median voter-ness.
So, it’s all well and good to talk about college education purely in terms of immediate economic value, but… honestly, how else are we gonna sustain a populace (I guess *create* a populace) that isn’t perpetually getting tricked by the shiniest demagogue?
