Common Career Myths
Separating facts from fiction in the modern job market.
Myth
"Science students earn the most money."
Fact
Every stream has high-paying careers. Top Corporate Lawyers (Arts), Investment Bankers (Commerce), and Product Designers (Arts/Commerce) often out-earn average Engineers.
Myth
"Arts/Humanities has very few job opportunities."
Fact
Many of today's most important leadership, media, policy, HR, and design roles require a humanities background. The gig economy has also made creative writing and digital media incredibly lucrative.
Myth
"AI will replace every job, so there's no point."
Fact
AI will automate tasks, not entire jobs. It will also create millions of new jobs (e.g. AI Ethicist, Prompt Engineer). The most secure professionals will be those who learn to use AI as a tool in their respective fields.
