> The issue is not whether my students are valuable. In the long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns.
This is like the classic "I'll do it myself because its quicker".
In the current environment and likely more so into the future, those that hire and develop graduates skills are going to be looked at more favorably. Furthermore, the people you work with and coach become peers and typically help build a network of people who can bat for you.
It's tricky and its a balancing act and I appreciate that AI is becoming the easier quicker less fuss option
Companies stopped training people many decades ago, they expect you to arrive on the job trained now.
i.e. they shifted the cost of training from the employer to the employee.
What makes you think that will suddenly reverse course, or that society will suddenly start to care?
People want the cheapest, fastest shit possible. Companies too, generally.
That’s just not really not true from my professional experience or my industry in cyber security. There is of course a level of experience required of a junior but it’s still junior level experience.
In my line of work I was coaching and now I am senior I am expected to delegate tasks and coach, not to increase my own workload for doing simpler tasks myself.
People are you. You can make the change.
