I’ll have to check this out. I haven’t been able to actually watch it yet, but I certainly worry that this is going to turn out to be another “education in the United States is woefully obsolete” piece.
Not that that point isn’t true. It’s just that we’ve heard it before, again and again.

We’ve heard that before, but I think this would be an amazing visual to show high school students that if they hope to succeed in the future job market, they’d better start caring about their education right now.
