Your ability to leverage AI is already more valuable than your degree. 3 weeks of trial & error can outweigh 3 years of study. Today. This might sound controversial, but it's true. According to research from Microsoft, 71% of leaders said they would prefer hiring candidates with AI skills over those with more experience but lacking AI skills. Yes, your degree gets you into many doors. But so does the practical use of AI. I've seen first-hand how much AI transforms how people work and how much more and better work they can achieve in less time. The quote, "If you're not ashamed of who you were a year ago, you didn't learn enough", comes to mind, but it hits home much stronger today than it did in the past. If you're not leaning in yet, what's stopping you? How can I help? What can I show you to take note? #PracticalAI #FutureOfWork

Do you think this figure from Microsoft is accurate? I'd be surprised if 71% of leaders even knew what AI is. I agree with your point, but I don't see that level of awareness among leaders in the job market. Hardly any job descriptions mention AI skills.

Yeah I think employers are taking a hard look at degrees. AI skills will become the “proof”.
