If your child isn't a straight-A student today, don't worry, take the long view. In the future, artificial intelligence (AI) will automate many jobs and disrupt industries, outperforming people in many areas. In generations prior, college degrees and post-graduate degrees were a path toward having careers with higher than average income-earning potential. Automation due to AI will impact both white collar and blue collar jobs alike. Presently AI is already beginning to make inroads in the areas of medicine, legal, marketing, customer service, bookkeeping, financial services, business analytics, transportation, publishing, and others.
