Outdated Courses in the University: Alternatives for the Future

The rapid progress of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has drastically altered the workforce, rendering some courses and skills outdated. Despite this development, many students continue to take these courses at colleges and universities. In this prompt, I will be sharing some of the affected courses in the universities in my country and suggest other options for people in these areas of study.

Number one on my list is
BOOKKEEPING AND ACCOUNTING: These courses are no longer relevant in my country anymore because most of these are done using software and it is done by AI, the level of technology is no more child's play, technology has taken over and rendered these courses useless in my country, most students are still doing this and this is why most of us are unemployment because their services are no longer useful in such field. AI and accounting software can perform bookkeeping tasks with equal accuracy and speed, reducing the need for human accountants for routine tasks.

Number two on my list is
DATA ENTRY AND CLERICAL WORK: This topic made me remember one of my neighbors who bought a typewriter for his child, he brought the typewriter home and we all shouted and blamed him for buying something that is already going into extinction for the child of this generation, people are no longer interested in employing anyone with such certificate because they believe that with the rise of automation and machine learning algorithms, data entry tasks are being handled efficiently and accurately by computer programs, freeing up human employees for more strategic work.

Number three on my list is
CALL CENTER AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT:- let's rewind the memory back to early 2000 when the use of mobile phones was not as rampant as this, anytime we put a call through to the customer service representative, a normal person will talk to us, and address our issues but now AI has taken over, that is the power of technology, AI-powered customer service platforms can handle a significant volume of customer inquiries, reducing the need for human customer support specialists. There are so many courses that are not relevant in my country yet people are studying the course

Since we are in the AI era I believe there are so many alternatives for most of these jobs, the most alternative course for the generation is:-

DATA SCIENCE AND ANALYTICS: This is one of the most lucrative courses in the world, anything that has to do with computer language, this world is turning to AI generation, Data scientists and analysts are in high demand to interpret and translate data into actionable insights.

Many companies need people who have more ideas about data science and programming, this should be the focus of many students, the target should always be after graduation not before, most students accepted what they gave them because they can no longer sit at home to write more entry examination, my advice is that government should cancel out all the courses that are no longer relevant in the country.

Let us all focus on what is lucrative in the employment market, and not the courses given by the college authority.

This is my response to today's episode of hive-learners community prompt of #hl-w139e02 which the topic is tagged Not Needed
