To shape today’s and tomorrow’s ‘future proof’ worker, schools must teach specialized hard skills, such as the STEM skills that are in high demand.
If you want to be an anthropologist, you need to study physical anthropology specialized in bones. If you want to be a forensic chemist, get a degree in chemistry. Do you want to do DNA work? Get a degree in microbiology. And do well. Study hard and go to graduate school.
Our problem right now is that we’re so specialized that if the lights go out, there are a huge number of people who are not going to know what to do. But within every dystopia there’s a little utopia.
We have a highly specialized customer and want to give her the best experience somewhere she can trust.

The application of group theory to physics became one of the main branches of physics that I specialized in.
The Internet is really about highly specialized information, highly specialized targeting.
Only by strict specialization can the scientific worker become fully conscious, for once and perhaps never again in his lifetime, that he has achieved something that will endure. A really definitive and good accomplishment is today always a specialized act.
