<p>What if the biggest threat to your career… isn’t losing your job—but becoming irrelevant before you even get one?</p><br><p>Right now, we’re watching something seismic unfold in the workforce. College grads are struggling to land entry-level roles. Companies are hiring more cautiously—or not at all. And quietly, in the background, AI is beginning to reshape not just <em>which</em> jobs exist… but whether entire career paths survive.</p><br><p>In fact, a recent survey of 5,000 unemployed Americans found that only 15% would choose a four-year college again knowing what they know now. </p><p>That’s not just a statistic. That’s a warning.</p><br><p>Today, we’re bringing on someone who is not just observing this shift—but actively building solutions inside it. Chieh Huang, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of <a href="https://pelgo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pelgo</a>, is working at the front lines of what he calls the “intersection” of AI and the job market—helping workers reskill, reposition, and stay in the game.</p><br><p>In this conversation, we unpack:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why entry-level jobs are quietly disappearing</li><li>The surprising roles AI is actually <em>creating</em></li><li>What employers are really thinking right now about hiring</li><li>Why your ability to learn quickly may matter more than your degree</li><li>And how to use AI—not avoid it—to stay competitive</li></ul><p><br></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
