>2000s: get a degree > get a job, don't be dumb > climb the ladder, skill and salary correlate linearly, skills ? Basic computer literacy, unions still kinda matter, housing ? Work for 3-5 years. Overall, linear and predictable, RPG progression >2010s post-2008 recovery: Get a degree > get an internship > Make big money, Digital transformation = Gig economy booming + mobility, Housing ? Hard ro affordable in big cities unless you worked in tech, Small cities still acceptable. Overall, system rewards high risk, less guidance>2020s Post-AI: get a degree > get a masters degree > never find a job. Labor and skill positive correlation to salary weakness significantly. Expected to work longer, KPI overload. Competition ? Everyone and their grandma has a degree, the indians that took your jobs remotely are your neighbors, Housing ? 7.14 times the median annual household incomeIts all so hopeless
