A 24-year-old CEO is rethinking and reshaping the hiring landscape – and America’s career pipeline – by taking an outspoken stance on college degrees and an aging workforce.
“Gen Z right now, you have a lot of power. All the corporations in America are trying to cater to you,” Sotira co-founder and CEO Amrita Bhasin told Fox News Digital.
“They’re thinking about: how do we cater towards the next generation? So use that power in ways that are valuable for us and for society.”
Bhasin, who leads an award-winning logistics and artificial intelligence (AI) startup company, warns that the U.S. is “not going to look the same way it will in a decade” if more young people don’t bypass traditional college degrees and pivot to reliable skilled trades.
U.S. Census Bureau data indicates that the U.S. population is older today than it’s ever been, and the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050.
