Palantir CEO Alex Karp shared blunt career advice for the AI age during a recent interview. He argues that success will go to people with vocational expertise - like plumbers or coders who build real things - and neurodivergent individuals whose unconventional minds excel at AI's demands. Elite college grads without practical skills will struggle, he says, and this shift matters because AI is reshaping jobs faster than schools can adapt.
