Skills You Need By 2030 | Ritesh Hada on Career Secrets, AI Realities & Job Market Shift
He went from building successful businesses to managing a large university campus with over 8,500 students. While many are still pursuing traditional degrees, he focuses on identifying which jobs will disappear by 2030 and which skills will truly matter. In this episode, Ritesh Hada, the President of Karnavati University, joins me for a frank discussion about the significant changes occurring in education and the job market. This isn't a dull academic talk about grades or curriculum. It’s a wake-up call on why the old idea of "getting a degree to secure your life" no longer works. What makes this conversation so engaging is how it addresses the concerns that students and parents are grappling with today. Will basic coding or call center jobs even exist in four years? Why are some of the highest-paying careers missing from regular college brochures? And why does our society undervalue vocational skills that can actually pay more than a typical management degree? If you want to understand where the job market is heading and how to ensure you or your children don’t end up with an irrelevant qualification, you will want to listen to this.
