Professor Mark Rogers:

We must be very careful. I do not remember the exact quote, but this idea that upwards of 60% of the jobs of the future have not even been thought of yet is an important argument about the need for education. It is not skills-based education; it is about the broader critical thinking capacity to adapt, innovate and change direction and do all the new jobs that we cannot imagine yet. It is very important that we do not try to predict the future. We will not get it right. As a result, we must be careful to make sure that we create a highly educated and competent student body that is adaptable and flexible and can take on the challenges ahead.
