Outside of (hopefully) earning a college degree, four years of college also helps with social development, learning a sense of responsibility, and some colleges offer wonderful opportunities to learn how to do a keg stand at a frat party. But is a degree what hiring managers are looking for right now?
You won’t get hired on Wall Street, become a surgeon, or design skyscrapers without serious schooling after high school, but being adept at ChatGPT is a skill more and more employers want from new hires.
AI has infiltrated itself into the daily work lives of Americans. When it comes to entry-level positions, people that know how to communicate effectively with a bot will have advantages.
A survey by intelligent.com polled 1,000 hiring managers about the importance of having ChatGPT experience in the workplace.
Here are some of their findings.
94% recommended that college students take classes on ChatGPT, and 91% said that by 2024, entry-level job candidates better have ChatGPT experience because employers will expect them to.
One state that was a bit surprising is that another 91% of those surveyed said their company is offering some AI chatbot training now.
For some fields, ChatGPT experience is better than having a college degree, and that includes real estate. Eric Lee is the co-founder of an industry website, and he’s seeing trends that didn’t exist even six months ago.
“ChatGPT experience can provide a more practical and hands-on understanding of the real estate industry, which can be more valuable than a college degree in certain circumstances. Ultimately, the combination of ChatGPT experience and a college degree can make candidates more well-rounded and increase their chances of success.”
This technology is advancing so rapidly that this survey will look different a year from now. One thing that can’t be refuted is that a few months of ChatGPT training will not leave anyone with $100K in student loan debt.
