This college major will 'automatically give you an edge' in the job market, career expert says—especially in tech

From: CNBC

A growing number of colleges and universities offer courses and even full-fledged degrees to prepare students for a working world that embraces the power of AI.

And experts say it's worth it for students to take advantage, regardless of the industry they want to go into. That could mean students interesting in becoming software engineers majoring in AI or English majors adding an AI class to their roster.

“If you're in a tech role or tech space, you want to have an AI degree,” Valerie Workman, chief talent engagement officer at early career website Handshake, tells CNBC Make It. She is also the author of “Quantum Progression: The Art & Science of Career Advancement in the Age of AI.”

“Anything with AI in the title is gonna automatically give you an edge, particularly when you're looking to interview and get those really coveted internships,” Workman says.

Employers increasingly look to hire workers who are adept with generative AI tools or can build their own large language models (AI-powered systems like Google's Gemini). Job postings mentioning generative AI more than tripled between September 2023 and September 2024, an Indeed Hiring Lab study found.

AI skills can come in handy for more fields than just tech. Data analytics, software development and other science, technology, engineering and math-related industries account for most of the AI mentions in job postings, per Indeed, but media, communications and information companies also seek AI-savvy hires.

Since AI is poised to have an impact on jobs across industries, it's a good idea for students in a variety of academic disciplines to tap into relevant learning opportunities. It doesn't have to be your major — even taking a course or two can give you valuable skills to add to your resume.

“I don't think it should just be all software engineers doing [AI education],” says Kevin Collins, associate director and career consultant for Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. “I think everybody should be involved in this: Humanities, social sciences, the pure sciences. Everybody should have a place at the table for this.”

Students with programming and building skills may have a leg up when applying for roles like AI architect or engineer. Those with a deeper understanding of subjects like psychology and sociology will have an even greater edge on applicants who have only mastered technical skills, says Sean McGowan, employer relations director at Carnegie Mellon.

“We're looking at how humans make decisions, because I think that is going to be the next iteration of AI,” he says. That's where “students with additional skillsets upon the technological ones are going to have an advantage.”

This college major will 'automatically give you an edge' in the job market, career expert says—especially in tech

From: CNBC

A growing number of colleges and universities offer courses and even full-fledged degrees to prepare students for a working world that embraces the power of AI.

高校正纷纷推出与人工智能相关的课程甚至是学位，帮助学生适应这个日益依赖AI的未来职场。

full-fledged /ˌfʊlˈfledʒd/ 表示“发展完全的；完全训练过的”，英文解释为“completely developed or trained”举个🌰：Within months the student had become a full-fledged instructor. 几个月之内这名学生就成为称职的导师了。

📍fledge作动词，本身表示“（幼鸟）长出飞羽，变得羽翼丰满”（(of a young bird) to grow feathers and learn to fly）

And experts say it's worth it for students to take advantage, regardless of the industry they want to go into. That could mean students interesting in becoming software engineers majoring in AI or English majors adding an AI class to their roster.

专家表示，不管学生未来从事哪个行业，都应积极把握AI学习机会。这可能意味着想成为软件工程师的学生可以主修人工智能，或者英语专业的学生选修人工智能课程。

roster /ˈrɒs.tər/ 表示“花名册；名单；候选名单；值勤表，勤务簿”，英文解释为“A roster is a list, especially of the people who work for a particular organization or are available to do a particular job. It can also be a list of the athletes who are available for a particular team；A list of people's names, often with the jobs they have been given to do”

“If you're in a tech role or tech space, you want to have an AI degree,” Valerie Workman, chief talent engagement officer at early career website Handshake, tells CNBC Make It. She is also the author of “Quantum Progression: The Art & Science of Career Advancement in the Age of AI.”

早期职业网站Handshake的人才发展总监瓦莱丽·沃克曼（Valerie Workman）在接受CNBC Make It采访时表示：“如果你从事技术岗位或在科技行业工作，AI学位非常必要。”她也是《量子进阶：AI时代的职业发展艺术与科学》（Quantum Progression: The Art & Science of Career Advancement in the Age of AI）一书的作者。

quantum /ˈkwɒn.təm/ 表示“量子”，英文解释为“the smallest amount or unit of something, especially energy”如：quantum theory 量子理论。

“Anything with AI in the title is gonna automatically give you an edge, particularly when you're looking to interview and get those really coveted internships,” Workman says.

沃克曼指出：“凡是带有AI字样的专业，在寻求热门实习岗位时，都能为你加分。”

coveted /ˈkʌvətɪd/表示“令人垂涎的；梦寐以求的”，英文解释为“You use coveted to describe something that very many people would like to have.”举个🌰：The Booker Prize is the most coveted British literary award. 布克奖是最令人向往的英国文学奖。

Employers increasingly look to hire workers who are adept with generative AI tools or can build their own large language models (AI-powered systems like Google's Gemini). Job postings mentioning generative AI more than tripled between September 2023 and September 2024, an Indeed Hiring Lab study found.

雇主越来越倾向于雇佣熟练掌握生成式AI工具或能够构建大语言模型（如谷歌的Gemini等AI系统）的员工。Indeed招聘实验室的一项研究显示，2023年9月至2024年9月间，提及生成式AI的职位发布数量增长了三倍以上。

adept /əˈdɛpt/ 表示“娴熟的”，英文解释为“Someone who is adept at something can do it skilfully.”举个🌰： He's usually very adept at keeping his private life out of the media. 他通常十分擅长于使他的私生活远离媒体。

🎬电影《太空堡垒卡拉狄加：利刃》（Battlestar Galactica Razor）中的台词提到：And since it's so adept at mimicking human feeling, 既然它能如此逼真地模仿人类情感

generative /ˈdʒen.ər.ə.tɪv/ 表示“有生产能力的；能生成的”，英文解释为“able to produce or create something”如：the generative power of the mind 大脑的生成能力。

📍ChatGPT全名就是：Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer.

📍词根“gen-”来自拉丁语“generare”，表示“产生”，后缀“-ative”表示形容词，即“有产生作用的”。想象生成式AI能够基于现有数据创造新内容。近义词：productive（生产的），同根词：generate（生成），常用短语：generative model（生成模型）

triple /ˈtrɪp.əl/ 表示“（使）成三倍，（使）增加两倍”，英文解释为“to increase three times in size or amount, or to make something do this”举个🌰：We have tripled our output over the past two years. 过去两年里，我们的产量增加了两倍。

AI skills can come in handy for more fields than just tech. Data analytics, software development and other science, technology, engineering and math-related industries account for most of the AI mentions in job postings, per Indeed, but media, communications and information companies also seek AI-savvy hires.

AI技能的应用远不止于技术行业。据Indeed数据显示，数据分析、软件开发以及其他科学、技术、工程和数学相关行业在招聘中提及AI最多，但媒体、传播和信息类公司也在寻找精通AI的人才。

表示“有用，派上用场”，英文解释为“to be useful for a particular purpose”举个🌰：The money will come in handy when I want to travel. 我想去旅游时，这些钱会派上用场的。

作名词，savvy /ˈsæv.i/ 表示“常识；实际能力”，英文解释为“practical knowledge and ability”如：business savvy 专业知识。

🎬电影《爱情、婚礼和婚姻》（Love, Wedding, Marriage）中的台词提到：if you're gonna be gone for six months, you need to be internet email savvy. 如果你要离开半年 你得精通互联网电子邮件。

Since AI is poised to have an impact on jobs across industries, it's a good idea for students in a variety of academic disciplines to tap into relevant learning opportunities. It doesn't have to be your major — even taking a course or two can give you valuable skills to add to your resume.

由于AI正在重塑各行各业，来自不同学科背景的学生都应抓住相关的学习机会。它不一定非得是你的主修——即使只选修一两门课程，也能为你的简历加分。

表示“平衡的；作好准备的，摆好姿势的”，英文解释为“If an object or a part of your body is poised, it is completely still but ready to move at any moment.”举个🌰：The cup was poised on the edge of the chair. 杯子放在椅子边上（随时可能掉下来）。My pencil was poised over the page, ready to take down her words. 我的铅笔对准了本子，随时准备记下她的话。

résumé /ˈrez.ə.meɪ/ 表示“简历，履历”，英文解释为“a short written description of your education, qualifications, previous jobs, and sometimes also your personal interests, that you send to an employer when you are trying to get a job”

resume /rɪˈzjuːm/ 1）表示“（中断后）继续，重新开始”，英文解释为“If an activity resumes, or if you resume it, it starts again after a pause.”举个🌰：Normal services will be resumed in the spring. 春天将恢复正常服务。

📍《经济学人》（The Economist）一篇讲述疫情之下学生上课问题的文章中提到复课就用的resume classes：As well as letting final-year secondary-school students facing exams resume classes, Denmark has also begun to reopen crèches and primary schools. 丹麦除了让面临毕业考试的中学毕业班复课外，还开始逐步重开幼儿园和小学。

“I don't think it should just be all software engineers doing [AI education],” says Kevin Collins, associate director and career consultant for Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. “I think everybody should be involved in this: Humanities, social sciences, the pure sciences. Everybody should have a place at the table for this.”

卡内基梅隆大学计算机学院副主任及职业顾问凯文·柯林斯（Kevin Collins）表示：“学习AI并不只属于软件工程师。人文学科、社会科学、纯科学等领域都应当加入进来，每个人都应在AI领域中找到自己的位置。”

Students with programming and building skills may have a leg up when applying for roles like AI architect or engineer. Those with a deeper understanding of subjects like psychology and sociology will have an even greater edge on applicants who have only mastered technical skills, says Sean McGowan, employer relations director at Carnegie Mellon.

卡内基梅隆大学员工关系主任肖恩·麦高文（Sean McGowan）表示，拥有编程和系统构建能力的学生在申请AI架构师或工程师等职位时可能更具优势。而对心理学和社会学等学科有深入理解的学生，相较于仅掌握技术技能的学生，则会拥有更大的优势。

表示“优于（某人），比（某人）有优势”，英文解释为“to have an advantage over someone”

“We're looking at how humans make decisions, because I think that is going to be the next iteration of AI,” he says. That's where “students with additional skillsets upon the technological ones are going to have an advantage.”

他说：“我们正在关注人类决策过程，因为这或许就是AI未来的演进方向。”这也是为什么“那些除了技术技能外还具备其他能力的学生将更具优势。”

skillset = skill set /ˈskɪl ˌset/ 表示“综合技能，技能组合”，英文解释为“the range of things that someone is good at, especially things that are useful in a particular job”
