In general, (re)orienting education wholly or chiefly to specific perceived market needs is always going to produce disaster once the near term passes. It also eviscerates institutions that might otherwise help people weather change, intellectually and in other ways

As somebody exiting the technology industry, it really does annoy me that for years and years and years we were all told "learn to code, learn to code, become agile, you should be working in tech" and then that all got farted out the window as soon as they thought they could minimise costs.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. for the first time I can remember, there’s no supposedly obvious alternative path to reliable employment that our leaders can demand we pivot to.
indeed, they’re not even bothering to try to offer an alternative - and scamming starts feeling like the only answer
Faine Greenwood
Yeah, it's certainly a much bigger problem now especially because before you could tell people they should learn to code or whatever and now there's basically not even a clear alternative path.
Learn to scam or something.
