The Invisible Career Apocalypse You're Already Living Through
A Vietnamese executive assistant with impeccable credentials earns $1,000 monthly. A Filipino web developer makes $700-$1,400 compared to $82,000 for the same work in the U.S. By 2020, America and Europe accounted for just 25% of the world's college-educated workforce. India alone churns out nearly a million IT graduates and over a million engineers annually. This isn't a distant threat-it's the world we're already living in. Since 2000, population has grown 2.4 times faster than jobs, reversing decades where jobs outpaced population. Three forces are dismantling traditional employment: globalization has made your skills globally comparable, technology is advancing exponentially through Moore's Law (40% annual improvement versus the Industrial Revolution's 1-2%), and credentials have become commoditized despite more people holding degrees than ever. Even prestigious law school graduates struggle to find work. The fundamental shift isn't about finding better jobs-it's about creating them. We're witnessing peak jobs, and the decline is permanent.
