How has #AI shaped (or disrupted) traditional career pathways?

Chicago Booth's @andershumlum.bsky.social shared insights on the labor market as it shifts with the integration of AI: www.cnbc.com/2025/09/07/a...
AI is not just ending entry-level jobs. It's the end of the career ladder as we know it
The most inspiring CEO stories come from workers who rose from entry-level positions at their firms to the top. What happens when AI takes those jobs away?
