Important thread on the value of humanities education, the irrationality of Australia's plans to change the fees charged for different courses at universities we study different things because that diversity gives us strength, and enables us to explore things from different POVs
I did my BA in History and Asian Studies. My degree gave me skills which were valued both here and abroad; I've worked in advertising, publishing, and research in Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. And I've never been unemployed, unlike some of my mates who studied engineering.

Humanities and social science scholars have gone blue in the face emphasising the value and utility of our disciplines, good employment/income of our graduates, etc. Nobody's listening. We keep getting shafted, whether by policy or idiotic "studying Arts = burger flipper" jokes.

On what evidence is the Arts' fee hike based? According to the most recent Graduate Outcomes Survey (2019) Humanities students had equal full time employment as Maths and Science students with Communications students just a bit less. #npc #Humanities

Unfortunate that the Aust Government doesn’t recognise the value of an #artsdegree and is now, in effect, punishing those who choose to study one. #universitychoices #degree #studyarts
I'm super excited to hear Dr. Leigh Hochberg's Fireside chat on The Power of Technology to Transform Lives. It's a rare opportunity to hear from a world leader who is using technology to restore the independence of people living with a disability. Come events.humanitix.com.au/powe…

With all the talk about the #futureofwork, moving forward, it's #skills that will be the #workcurrency of the future. How cashed up are you?

Such a fabulous initiative @BBC. @business and @abcnews have similar initiatives in place. It’s becoming a global movement! @FlipPrior @lszelenko @GIWLkings @WomenForMedia @WLIAus

I'm excited to be speaking at the Future of Work Summit in Melb on 15th May talking about why the future isn't #AI - it's #IA. How do we use an IA model to ensure that we keep people in #jobs and keep them #skills-relevant? #skillsgap #infiniteadaptation futureworksummit.org/first-a…

Why "the robots are coming" panic re: the loss of jobs is alarmist and, quite simply, untrue. Job demand continues to grow. While there will be shift in jobs, there's never been a higher demand for problem solvers in all industries. #futureofwork #skills smartcompany.com.au/technolo…

Keep it simple, huh?
It’s amazing how much of an impact on applicant volume and quality you get from something as simple as switching an external job title from “content manager” to “writer.” Writers, turns out, are better writers than content managers.

In the last few years, we’ve seen the rise of a new work phenomenon. The "gig economy" is being hailed as the future of work. Here's why we disagree - and why we think the gig economy is a race to the bottom. #gigeconomy #futureofwork #futurism my.jobgetter.com/workforce-d…
