to it. the only thing that's right does have is the power of hope award winning old, the fashionable to speak to palestinian by a director. ok met. i'm assuming you are able to train those in motion instead of it and come on with something to the beautiful and see those emotions without the wounds that's coming. refrain on out the humanities are dying. harvard university says the percentage of students graduating with a degree in the humanities has hopped in the past 50 years. what does that say about us and what are the implications for our future selves on these boards? this and this is the street the what's my vision? oh, i'm in english major. yeah. usually when i tell people that they're like, oh so you want to teach or oh, so you want to be a writer or just why these
5:34 pm
are for one class? i mean here. yeah. what are the biggest concerns i hear and concerns i had for a long time, about majoring and english for english literature is how does that translate to a job after you graduate? the big c. b, when they discover you die pretty busy not to be college graduates. i really don't know how it keeps up. it keeps measured so much. last year, the total 1st year headcount across all segments of higher education in the us was down 5 percent. that happened for a number of reasons, including the financial burden of incurring massive debts in order to get
5:35 pm
a degree in and i'll search and world. but today we're going to focus on the decline in the number of enrollments in humanities and more specifically, in english departments. which prompted many to consider shutting their classrooms across social media. we see content about the reasons why students are not choosing literature anymore. and the numbers are backing up there at times. humorous, tick, tock, videos in the u. k. the overall number of students sing rolling for english studies has dropped from 42237000 since 2019. and in the west, it became the fastest declining major between 20132018525 percent. the morrison government in australia decided in 2021 to reduce government contributions for degrees like english communications and culture, which means students wanting to pursue those fields need to pay more intuition fees . on the other hand, the funding for engineering and medical majors has increased to what kind of
5:36 pm
society will emerge if she manages studies are as a whole and up scrap from curriculum to help us answer that and more we have joining us today. so kasha, such as chandra, content creator sharing her passion for reading on instagram. she's with us from bank of world katie hutchinson, stem students pursuing her doctorate at the university of oxford. so joining us from 10 up in ecuador, far as charging a career coach, content creator and software engineer in san francisco, and meet with a on a silicon valley insider and founder of a me dot a i was helping us helping those hiring find the right fit has joining us today from terre wrong. thank you all so much for your time. i'm so cause i want to start with you want to just study english literature and what would you say it? talk to hey, thank you for your question. i started even just as a job because it was something i was passionate about doing from when i was in the
5:37 pm
5th grade, i kind of knew that's the feeling that i wanted to pursue. and all. that's the reason why i went into the arts and humanities died off to my and my icbc board exam. i decided to pause to checking the education and then when we do it under graduation, followed by a mazda is english teacher, joe, because i knew it from already on the on that this is something i wanted to do. because i did excuse me, passionate about stories and make believe the world of imagination and all of that . so don't give you what you expected. yes, absolutely. but more than the degree it's and so i did my degree in united in different universe, duplicates within the degree itself. what are the connections and the conversations i had in the connections that made with the people at all. and um, i think that i, they career for life more then, you know, just studying the later job and everything else that was happening around me. which made a very interesting experience in terms of learning. so, um yeah, i wouldn't say that you wouldn't try that. that's nice to hear, katie,
5:38 pm
you are actually part of the trend we're talking about in terms of people not following to manage these. um was stem always a pass you favored or did they have anything to do with the job market and the prospects you had thanks for your question. up to me i was never. yeah, i never perceive myself. is that much of a crazy task when i was younger? obviously now i'm at create to say things have changed slightly. the box to me working in climate change. now it's not why the money is within stem. so it's a career market was never that big of a driver for me. i think it was, i would have had it more into the tech, the engineering side of things. but me, it was just a genuine love of some. and if i was a living, well, that countries me to arizona and even tell us more about your choices and about your plans for the future as well in the course of the show. but when i, when i bring far in, because i'm as a career coach far,
5:39 pm
your job is to get people jobs. and, and i want to know what you're observing in terms of the changes of graduates were coming out of uni with perhaps. and i don't wanna make assumptions, but perhaps less contact with philosophy and arts and literature. does that affect their ability to actually communicate or express themselves or is this just a misconception? to thank you for your question. i do think there's a bit of both components because, you know, i loved it and the, i love these things. graduates, they're, they're full of hope and they're so technic. why, technologically advanced compared to maybe some of the older generations. however, i do see that there are some missing components when it comes to communication and some of that lack of you know, humanities or, you know, even if i quote, a famous book, you know, if i say a tribute, say something, don't even know what that means. and so sometimes that can fall short in the
5:40 pm
workplace when people are making references that they really should have had context around during their education. but they didn't oh um and only you to introduce you as a silicon valley insider. but i know you guys you in far actually met before in the silicon valley. so you're both insiders, i'm you work with the likes of, of google, and you'll help companies find competent professionals. is what fire just said. is that a reality in, in, in your days right now, is the market telling you that young professionals sometimes lack certain references and at least perhaps have a hard time context realize in certain things a yeah, let me give a practical example. this is a real world example working project words. someone needs to get in touch with someone else. and hey, i mean they're not responding my point really need to talk to them. well,
5:41 pm
i email that. did you talk to them? why payment? no, did you talk to them? the person was sitting literally 30 feet across the room on the other side of walk, getting up walking and actually having a conversation to land a point or to brainstorm was far removed or maybe dating myself. like, you know, but there's this issue of action. the human interaction is a task, right? and so building that muscle is something that folks do need. do you think that the decline in humanity is a, is a, is a consequential or a cause in the changes we are actually seeing in society as a whole, a blind data driven person. and it's, it's hard for me to equate causality. but what i can say is that the, the stem specialization, and the focus on content and the output has the prioritized by my observation,
5:42 pm
the value of the communications. and it's not just the quality, but it's the quantity. i think when you want to land that message, they say you've got to say a 7 times to make sure that it last so it's not happening with the same amount of quality. and it's certainly not happening. the same amount of the quantity. and that stresses output when it comes to everything is fine and you're not under stresses, okay? but when you're working on deadlines and pressure, that's where that communication portion becomes important. and where we're kind of learning a little bit trial by fire. oh, yeah. and we used to have, i don't know 30 seconds perhaps to land that message. now we have, i don't know 3, in terms of attention span. this is it's quite something quite a challenge. um, it's important to note obviously the decline in humanities has been going on for decades. one would say, but we've started to see the impact of losing touch with the literary world and, and some say the internet and social media have made things worse. take
5:43 pm
a look. our children cannot read, let alone writing a paragraph, that alone comprehension. they can not read, they do not know how to sound words out. they were not taught that. and if you're wondering within why am i, why is my kids just keep getting passed on to the next grade because that's what they're doing now. they're not holding the children back, they're moving them on their graduating them, knowing that your child is illiterate. our next change makers are next. law makers are next. voters cannot read. i beg of, you take the tablets in the cell phones a way practice letter, recognition and sound and reading with your child please. and i'm with you, but a step what you they been know they've been the babies couldn't read and didn't care. you know, when i started to carry out the pans and make them test scores plummeted. first of all, like test scores for reading were like pretty stag. and for the last like decade.
5:44 pm
but after the pandemic they plummeted. and now they would, oh, we got to do something about it. so so cause you share your passion for reading on instagram. can i ask you about, what kind of feedback do you get and, and those observations they are, do they resonate? yeah, i get a lot of questions from a lot of people, lot of segments all walks of life or different age groups. i think all right, from maybe related fees up to age 45, i have people asking me where do i buy my books from some of the documentations i've shared on instagram and youtube has been doing the nice changing for people. they've reached out. seeing that, thank you so much for letting me know about this book and things like that. so i think it's really something that i find very fulfilling. when somebody found out about a book and, and they don't, they liked it. thanks to my having spread the word. so um yeah, i hope that's, that's the kind of feedback i'm getting. i haven't received any negative feedback,
5:45 pm
but i see i think it's been really positive. and katie, you, you also share your journey on social media. have you noticed one thing that stuck with me during, during the chat we had before the show was that you said look, i already read a ton for my degree. yes. perhaps i don't want to read a whole novel and obviously we get that we're not comparing the skills here, but i will not ask you a little bit about whether you, you feel like you're missing out on certain skills because you chose to go. um, another way you chose to go towards them. i definitely for me, i don't, i think this kind of problem and now that way of facing all the, the changes in actually ninety's degrees is kind of the generation below me. sorry me, i was really exposed to matrix when i was in school and i'm throughout my whole childhood and it's finding out i'm reading less because i'm reading more academic. what in
5:46 pm
the daytime. but i think is yeah, a complex problem for the younger generations. he, uh, seeing a comprehension going down critical thinking opinion information, because we're just can see many of these shortest snippets of content as opposed to the literature. so, you know, a great example that aggressive because you have actually have a good base. but i also want to ask you about your job prospect, but 1st, let's take a look at these clips that we sourced from. social media discharge shows the unemployment rate of 25 to 29 year olds with bachelor's degree. sadly, computers sides is number one. people in tucker, always roasting liberal arts and communications majors for not having jobs, but they're doing better than us grow this, right, here's what happens when you have years of social media and fortunes telling everyone to go and see us because you can make a 100 k plus no problem, and also the people of orange is right now. don't even know how to do it. they just know how to use tragic. let me know where your major types of people confused as to
5:47 pm
why to be a science helps us idaho unemployment. by the same time decide the amount for comparisons, scratches the main tab you is that they're looking for skills graduates and a lot of people that graduate these computer science i've seen decreased and the skills enough to, you know, compete for these kinds of roles. katie, you mentioned one thing to focus on climate change and research on, on your work. can you tell us a little bit more about your plan? you also said that there's no money there, so that's not what is driving you. tell us a little bit about what you intend to do. i am so sorry over stay at the moment. i'm finishing up my ph. d to be finished as yet. and then off the box. i have to go into consulting and working kind of continue in inclement change. i focus now in latin america. obviously i'm pregnant. it'll say to me when following that is spinning from school. really i did my undergraduate degree in biology and the whole
5:48 pm
kind of can be science thing. i think i picked it possibly, but it wasn't something that was around when i never really considered university of you as well. i can 2070 and say yeah, i taught re see myself de academia that might change. but i think a lot of people are losing interest in the universe teasing professorships, a country that careers, including in the he micies i'm so far when it comes to a plan. i mean, katy has a plan there. do people come to you with a plan, or are you finding that these younger generations are, are struggling to actually, i don't know, see themselves in 10 or 20 years and know what they want and where they're headed. and what i find is, whenever i'm speaking to anyone, doesn't matter if they're young or older. and for example, when i worked at google and i would ask them,
5:49 pm
why are you interested in this position? and they would answer well, google is my dream company. well, they didn't really answer my question, right, right. it's why are you interested in the position now? are you interested in the company? and what i find is that with my coaching clients, it's the same. and so when they're struggling to get a job i, i say ok, well let's take a step back. tell me what kind of industries you want to work for. what companies do want to work for. and if they know they may list off, it'd be 2 or 3 of the top companies out there, maybe one of the same company. so, you know, met uh amazon, apple, google, netflix. however, when i asked them why they're not able to articulate themselves. and so i asked them, what are the main drivers, what's the point of this? what is it that you're doing? you know, yes, you know, i think computer science is a wonderful degree. i got my degree in computer science with my minor in english because i knew that the english minor would actually helped me with my career. and so when i ask them for direction with which you know, where do they want to go down? they all sometimes don't understand or they don't know. so i have to help himself
5:50 pm
discover through asking them questions through constipated process and throughout that process it really helps to shape their understanding of how business operates as opposed to being in academia which are 2 totally different world. and then once they understand that, and they have a clear focus, they can move forward. there's interesting because you said it happens with all ages, not only with the younger generations on need or are we missing the points here? again, we've been talking about the decline in humanities, right. and, and, and people going on and perhaps missing out on something because they are not reflecting on what they want to be. i don't know, i thought of university as that's in the past and please we all know how privilege we are. even in only having this conversation. there are many people across the world who don't even get a chance to actually dream of higher education,
5:51 pm
right. to think about all those students in gaza who had to stop going to school so . so knowing that, knowing that we're talking about a conversation that is for the privileged few, i wonder if, if we are again missing the point in, in the fact that going to university, per se was, was a chance to actually figure out all those questions that we had sometimes we end up waiting until a mid life crisis to look at them just briefly. i want to just pick up on what the federal was saying you're wrong, you know, starting with lives. you know, people don't buy what you do, they buy and why you do it. and very few people can ask for live beyond some sort of superficial reason. and you ask the 5 wise, then suddenly you get, get to the root of what's happening. and the other thing is, you know, with the data implosion, there's so much stuff out there. it's very hard to teach your way to an answer. you have to do your way into an answer and for the safe to fail, excuse. well, like,
5:52 pm
you know, this is taking a page of design thinking, hey, what do i want to be when i go up or what's really going to be for feeling for me? you think, you know, you don't really know until you try. maybe you want to be a doctor. i did, and i couldn't stand um, frankly, but it kind of gave me the creeps and it's a blessing profession. but until i actually had an internship. right. and i work with doctors and medical environments. i didn't know. i actually loved teaching, but the money counts and teaching doesn't pay. okay. well, now money as it is also important. and so like you run these experiments and then you learn. and so there's this fear of failure because we've got to be bigger, better or faster. um, sometimes you need to go slower to go better, give yourself time to explore and then to find the solution that's right for you. and i'm practicing what i preached. we live in silicon valley. my daughter wants to be a teacher and she has taught harps and all this done classes. and everyone tells her she's crazy because she's not going into stand or to role models happen to be
5:53 pm
teachers. and, you know, i'm trying to leave those out. now if, if it works for someone by all means, but it's not a one size fits all and you know this life is a marathon and do yourself a favor to kind of learn what works for you. thank you so much chicago. let me try to give you a simpler question to answer. we're 2 from here when it comes to universities, watkin, they do to perhaps, i don't know, attract people, but ok to these departments to humanities. and these studies, i find the concept of, of private schools. i think their students are clients a bit problematic, but what can be done to attract more people into this field? a yeah, great question. uh, i think the universities need to go to where the audiences are and speak to the audiences directly rather than usually phone. and that will be social and we are given that up as an generation. and so uh,
5:54 pm
tech savvy and is all over social media. i think it makes sense for universities to target audiences bad and all you know, like, go indoors did some, it's about english in the studies and all the things in oceans that people have in their minds about what the study of english the don't use about tell them the truth, show them what to tell us. is there any like on the inside, like what kind of discussion top and just give them a sneak peak? and i think during reviews and speaking to them in the language that they used to liked about ready hope, you know, of childhood loss and the missed and all of that. the next people, you know, come on to the other side and want to come and study in addition to that. so i think using social media creatively helps the case in many people don't actually enter certain courses because they don't really know what to do with them. as a career and social media has some of the answers, take a look. the
5:55 pm
advertising, copy, barta, academic library in an office, administrator, and editorial system, social media executive. they tell me how big they go. all right, here's how you can get rich off in english degree 1st. what you're going to need to do is either change or major to computer science, or if you've already gotten your degree and get a master's and cops i or go to a boot camp and then get a job in software engineering to katie. what is the best advice i can give people today when it comes to trying to decide what to do? oh, i think that's really tricky, ronnie, and i'm going to say something really appreciate, but you have to do what you love. i think going through degree and grades or career
5:56 pm
that you just don't enjoy is, is just not laughed at. and there's no point in forcing us out there in stone. if that is not what you want to do, or if it's your parents or someone that is because you need to go into it. i think really staying true to what you're interested in is vital. because studying and dying through a whole career is not impossible. if you're not enjoying the day a say it's yeah, i sure that's down when i guess it sounds absolutely solid far and oh, made one final word from each one of you in terms of, of advice to people today in terms of what to do with their careers so i would say do your research before you even attend university, know what it is, but you're doing what you're getting yourself into. when i said your research, you know, look at the jobs that you are interested in. now i kind of differ with katie. i don't believe in necessarily following your passion,
5:57 pm
but instead identify what you are good at and what you can get paid the most for. in my experience, what i've noticed is that the leaders and silicon valley are the ones who have identified this and they become successful. they retire early, they live a very happy life. and so doing that will make you much happier in the long run. that's a practical advice i'll need your take i would do as far as um, advice with also define success on your terms. not everyone's success is the same. and if you do yourself a favor, understanding what success means for you, then you have the best of both worlds and you avoid the risk of finding the mountains only to find there's another one around the corner that you didn't even think about. because it's closer to what you're calling because understood, really, really nice and round advise their own need far. katie and chicago. thank you so so much for your time today. thank you for being part of the stream. and thank you all
5:58 pm
