A short YouTube interview clip in which Matt Britton argues that routine, easily outsourced jobs will disappear while deeply specialized creative (arts/design) or scientific/engineering skills will remain valuable. He contrasts broad, generalist education ('jack of all trades') with deep, niche expertise and says education should be redefined to emphasize specialized skill sets.
If you walk into work every day and expect what to be told by a boss, your boss could tell somebody in Costa Rica to do it for a lot more cheaply, right? So that job's gonna go away. But if you go deep into art, meaning in the creative world, you can be creative and innovative and actually think it's hard to actually replicate that. So what's that deep creativity? Whether you're an artist or, you know, a creative designer or you name it, or deep into science, being an engineer, being a co, being somebody who understands technology, going deep in either the arts or the science. Very deep, very specialized, very niche. But the kind of whole general studies or liberal arts or these kind of very generic terms where you're learning a little bit of everything. Master of all, jack of all trades, master of none, those people are not going to be able to succeed in the new economy. So I think it's about specialized skill sets and redefining education.
