How AI Is Killing the Value of a Bachelor's Degree

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor market and reducing the traditional value of a bachelor’s degree. In 2010, college graduates had a six-point unemployment advantage over their peers, but by 2024 this gap had shrunk to one point.

Sectors such as finance and law have reduced entry-level hiring as automation replaces routine tasks. At the same time, college enrollment has declined, partly due to rising student debt and doubts about return on investment.

As skills rapidly become obsolete, continuous learning is essential. A degree is no longer a guarantee of stability, but a starting point complemented by experience and human skills.
