Ep 6: AI is shifting the workforce constantly. Here’s how you can keep up. | Gautam Tambay and Evan Baehr
Your parents had 1-2 jobs their entire life. You'll have 15. And that college degree you're paying for? It might be obsolete before you finish paying it off.
About the Episode
Ready for a wake-up call? The shelf life of skills has collapsed from decades to months, but our education system is still stuck in the 1970s. My guest Gautam Tambay is shattering the old model through Springboard, where Broadway performers and baristas are transforming into software engineers in months, not years. We dive into why 45% of college graduates are underemployed (spoiler: their degrees didn't teach them what companies actually need), how AI is forcing us to completely rethink career paths, and why Gautam isn't even saving for his son's college fund. The wildest part? He's working with giants like Amazon and Walmart to turn warehouse workers into software developers - and finding that these employees often make better leaders than Ivy League grads. Watch to learn why the future belongs to those who can reinvent themselves every few years, and why someone who knows how to use AI better than you might just take your job.
