The future of work won’t be about college degrees, it will be about job skills

Sixty-five percent of children entering primary school will end up in jobs that don’t yet exist, reveals the World Economic Forum.

According to the survey Freelancing in America 2018, released Wednesday, 93 percent of freelancers with a four-year college degree say skills training was useful versus only 79 percent who say their college education was useful to the work they do now.

The result is a proliferation of new, nontraditional education options.
