Bye, Junior Grads: Hello, Junior CEOs
Fri Sep 05 2025
Bye, Junior Grads: Hello, Junior CEOs. Fortune: AI is eating entry-level jobs. The twist? We trained grads to be bad software.
The $2T human-API ponzi is collapsing. Universities now charge $200K to teach students to excel at what costs $20/month to automate. We’re paying Harvard prices for Mechanical Turk skills.
But this isn’t a crisis. It’s a liberation.
AI automates the simple, freeing humans to inject the 1% ingenuity that turns AI’s 99% commodity execution into breakthrough.
The companies that promote smart displaced juniors to AI directors - instead of firing them - will inherit the AI-era economy.
What’s missing (yet) is the infrastructure that upgrades a junior grad into the Director of AI.
We call it Vincero (‘I will Win’).
Which would you hire: (A) a junior an AI can replace, or (B) a junior who makes AI win?
