As soon as high-school dropouts learn marketable skills that do not require credentials or formal education, sure they have a chance. Some of those skills are: coding, design, copywriting, UX/UI design, etc.
- PeterisP 13y agoWait, wait - learning any of those skills can surely be done, but it naturally requires motivation, time and engagement. That's the whole point - if we're expecting employers to use gamification to engage them after hiring, then can we expect them (the majority of them, not the best of them) to learn nontrivial marketable skills on their own before getting that job?
- vdaniuk 13y agoWell, programming and coding education is already gamified (codeschool, treehouse) so if gamification works for that target audience it will work at the education stage, too.
