Coding skills won't save your job -- but the humanities will

Coding boot camps are becoming almost as popular as college degrees: Code schools graduated more than 22,000 students in 2017 alone. The bet for many is that coding and computer programming will save their jobs from automation, and there's a resulting wave of emphasis on STEM skills. But while a basic understanding of computer science may always be valuable, it is not a future-proof skill. If people want a skill set that can adapt and ride the wave of workplace automation, they should look to -- the humanities. Having knowledge of human culture and history allows us to shape the direction of how technology is developed, identifying what problems it should solve and what real-world concerns should be considered throughout the process.
