What percentage of the jobs in this world fall in the “impact on the world” category ?
- convolvatron 6y agowhy is everyone forgetting suitability? maybe i'm just not a good behavioral fit for chartered accountancy, or virologist or civil engineer. impact aside there are some jobs that i'll be better at and will enjoy more.
- foogazi 6y agoBehavior can be learned - when I was born I could not talk, now I’m a SWE Edit: had I been born 100 years ago I would have had a different line of work
- hellisothers 6y agoThis is somewhat addressed when talking about not just “what major” but “from where”. Also the article isn’t advocating you necessarily pick major based on ROI, it’s suggesting you factor that in when a) getting a loan and b) projecting your future income. I think the best critique of the article’s thesis somebody else mentioned which is just because one studies sociology doesn’t mean they can’t later go on to be a dentist. As well as the “this is a lot to ask of a 17yo” :)
