His main point is valid, education is important for becoming a well-rounded civilian.
However

I do! Math!
Machine learning:
Lin alg
Calc
Stat/prob
Programming: understanding math gives a leg up in understanding many of the ideas underlying.
The meta-skill that math teaches is also timeless: when you learn concept D, you need to have a very good mastery over concepts A, B and C.
In my psychology lectures there never was such a “concept dependency hell”.
So yea math.
Also writing and articulating yourself. A rhetoric class is also timeless (if given properly).
So yea... I could go on. I won’t but I will predict this:
If you learn how to sell
Learn how to play along
And learn math
Then those skills will immensely help you for some of the new jobs in the future.
