The jobs of the future require social skills, not maths
This chart is from the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs study (PDF) so healthy skepticism and bullshit radars fully active. However I do like Stephen Downes’ gloss:
[If we look at the chart] mathematical skills appear to be almost irrelevant, while the clear line of demarcation is the requirement for social skills. Keep in mind: computers do math. So if you do math, chances are than a computer can do your job.
Well said, Stephen. Well said.
