Today, we're diving into two hot topics: college graduates' unrealistic salary expectations and which jobs are going to be replaced by AI.

First, let's talk about salary expectations. It's no secret that many students enter their college journey with the expectation that they'll be earning six-figure salaries upon graduation. But the reality is often very different. In this episode, we're exploring why this is the case and what is the actual median salary for college graduates.

But it's not just salary expectations that are changing. The rise of artificial intelligence is also shaking up the job market in a big way. Some jobs that were once thought to be safe from automation are now at risk of being replaced by AI technology. We'll be exploring which jobs are likely to be affected and which are not.

But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. We'll also be discussing some of the exciting new job opportunities that are emerging thanks to AI technology. 

Be sure to tune in!

Today, we're gonna be talking about a variety of topics. We'll also feature our very first degree free billionaire!

First, we'll dive into the world of honorary degrees. Have you ever wondered what an honorary degree is? We'll talk about why Taylor Swift has one and why it's just a marketing ploy!

Then, we'll explore the concept of the "new collar" workforce, a concept created by Harvard Business Review. We'll talk about why it shouldn't exist and how it relates to the degree free movement.

Finally, we'll take a look at the story of Michael Dell, the billionaire who founded Dell Technologies with just $1000 and dropped out of college to pursue his dream of starting his own business. We'll discuss three important lessons we can learn from his journey that can help us achieve our own goals.

Welcome to today's episode! Today, we'll be discussing hot topics and news related to education, jobs, and career prospects.

First, we'll dive into the recent decision made by Pennsylvania to drop degree requirements for 92% of jobs. This move has been made with the aim to open up job opportunities to a larger segment of the population and to address the skills gap in the workforce. We'll explore the implications of this decision and what it could mean for the future of work and education.

Next, we'll be comparing two vastly different professions - UPS drivers and doctors - and asking the question, who makes more? While the salary expectations of doctors are often considered to be quite high, we'll be taking a closer look at the earning potential of UPS drivers and comparing the two professions. It's an interesting and surprising analysis that might challenge some of our preconceived notions about what constitutes a high-paying job.

Finally, we'll delve into the topic of unrealistic salary expectations of college graduates. Many students leave college with a high amount of debt and a perception that they'll be earning a comfortable salary soon after graduation. However, the reality is often quite different. We'll be discussing why these expectations exist, and if is it really worth getting a college degree.

Join us as we explore these topics and enjoy the episode!

Today our guest is Diana Spencer, and we go over everything that you need to know in order to transition your career into operations.

We talk about what operation is and how to make your transition into that field if you're not already in it. 

We talk about how she initially got into operations as a bookkeeper and how she initially got the job by lying on her resume and learning quickly how to do the job and becoming really proficient at it.

-----

Diana has had over a decade of experience working in Operations. Starting as a bookkeeper at age 18, Diana quickly and quite successfully rose within each company she's been employed with. She contributes her success to nothing more than strategy and the willingness to learn. 

"If you play the game of business and play it right, you can move into any position that interests you. Decide what you want, then define vividly what you need to do to get it. Then EXECUTE! Just get in and get started."  

Diana believes that all opportunities are in front of us (those without a degree) and we just need to take them. 

"Pick up a book, join networking events on - there are no excuses, it can be done virtually on LinkedIn. Surround yourself with everyone you can learn from and ask questions. Moving to a position of running companies with 50-100 employees - I drool over employees that want to learn. They are few and far between. Be the few and your competition WILL shrink."
