“learn how to do things that humans do better than machines”. These include creativity and entrepreneurship, but also interpersonal skills such as motivation, persuasion, nurturing and caring. Second, embrace life-long learning. “The skills that are valuable today may be less valuable tomorrow, as technology ad vances.” Third, do what you really love. “In the second machine age, most markets will be ‘winner-takes-most’ where a small number of top performers get most of the revenue, attention and success. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to excel without really loving what you do.”Prof Erik Brynjolfsson, Professor of management at the MIT Sloan School of Management

GOOD AND BAD REASONS

Informed Choices (Russell Group)
Facilitating subjects-• ‘Facilitating subjects’ are the subjects most commonly required or preferred by
universities to get on to a range of degree courses. They can help students keep their options open when choosing a degree and many of the top universities will ask you to have at least one A-level in a facilitating subject when you apply.
• What are they?The Russell Group, which represents 24 leading UK universities, has defined facilitating subjects as:
• English literature History Modern Languages – e.g. French, German, Spanish etc… Classical languages – e.g. Latin, Ancient GreekMaths & Further Maths PhysicsBiologyChemistryGeography
• Why these subjects? These are all subjects that universities require students to have to get on to many degree courses. For example, lots of science degrees require students to have two or sometimes three A-levels from Maths, Physics, Chemistry or Biology.
• Lots of specialist courses at A-level and beyond also take a large part of their content or structure from facilitating subjects – e.g. Engineering includes content from Maths and Physics and Communication and Culture includes techniques and skills from English and Media Studies – so choosing a facilitating subject will prepare you for a range of courses.
