Job market: What should young people study in the AI age?
Fewer jobs, much frustration: Young academics in the USA and Germany have to assert themselves on an uncertain job market. Which subjects offer them the best chances.
Ber Berlin: Young people in the United States are increasingly expressing fear and anger towards artificial intelligence (AI), as evidenced by videos showing graduates storming out of their commencement speeches when AI is mentioned. In the United States, university education costs several tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, prompting concerns that such investments may no longer be worthwhile.
Unemployment among young graduates is rising, and many attribute this to the changes brought about by AI in the workforce. However, not all academic disciplines are equally affected. The Handelsblatt has analyzed job market data from both the United States and Germany, identifying which subjects are most impacted by AI disruption, which remain highly sought after, and how over 23,000 academic disciplines in Germany should be chosen to maximize prospects.
