Post 1/5: Traditional career advice is failing Gen Z. 200+ economists just warned AI could cause large-scale job displacement. 40% of recent grads are in jobs that don't need a degree. Here's what actually works instead 🧵

To all my Gen Z friends out there, I highly recommend this The Economist article that summarizes career advice in the age of AI and suggests the book that is most likely to help you (Link below) Benjamin Todd's 80,000 hours. He spent the last 15 years of my career researching how to find the best career. This book is the culmination of everything I've learned. I remember going into a long rabbit hole of the 80000 hrs and their free resources almost 5-8 years back. I'm glad that their advice is validated and has stood the test of time and the AI Revolution TL DR: 1) Skip the "follow your passion" advice — Todd argues this common wisdom has it backwards. Rather than starting with what you enjoy, he suggests focusing on developing skills that genuinely help others, since satisfaction and passion tend to follow competence and contribution rather than precede them. 2) Weigh impact and money rationally — Drawing on effective altruism principles, the book suggests evaluating career choices (or donations) by how much good they do, and points out that happiness gains from income tend to flatten out once household earnings reach roughly $75,000 a year, meaning chasing ever-higher pay may not be the best strategy for wellbeing. 3) Don't hunt for an "automation-proof" job — ride the wave instead — Todd's take on AI disruption is that automation often boosts demand for certain skills before eventually eliminating jobs (as happened with bank tellers and ATMs). His advice is to keep shifting toward whatever skills are becoming most valuable at each stage, rather than searching for one permanently safe career. The book covers everything research can tell us about finding a fulfilling career: * Why not to follow your passion to find a dream job * Which skills AI will make most valuable * Which careers make the most difference * How to actually get a job

ξενία — xenia The sacred guest-host law. Feed the stranger BEFORE asking their name (they might be a god, auditing you). Zeus enforces it personally. Every island is a xenia test. The suitors fail it for years. That's why the ending is what it is. (India: atithi devo bhava. Same law. Same theology.)
