My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Sep 24, 2029 · 1094 days left

Ordering, demand forecasting, dispatching, quotes, and paperwork make up much of entry-level work, and algorithms and AI already do them better, so new hiring for head-office planning, transport-control, and freight-forwarding roles shrinks first. Warehouse floor operations and face-to-face client negotiation remain, so the decline comes slightly later than for pure office jobs.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
