Spoiler: There is no (easy) fix.

The actual fix is a massive economic correction.

For several years now, employers have been increasingly weighing experience, including hobbyist projects, and decreasingly weighing a formal education.

Jobs markets are already adjusting, without even an economic blip.

Academia, on the other hand, is facing a massive correction, especially as decreased demand increases prices, further reducing demand in a positive feedback loop that will not end well.

Your spoiler is well put and that’s honestly where the conversation should always start.

Curious about what you think these economic corrections should look like.
