College in the Age of AI Resource Center
As a student in school now, the honest truth is nobody really teaches you how to think about AI and your career. You get a mention here or there, but no one sits you down and says, "here's what's actually changing, and here's what to do about it."
So my grandfather and I wrote the thing I wish someone had handed me. He's spent his career studying how technology reshapes work; I'm living it right now. We hope it ends up in students' hands before they need it, not after.

A year-by-year projection (2026–2031) ranking over 25 college majors by AI exposure risk — from Computer Science and Journalism (very high risk) to Nursing and Mechanical Engineering (very low risk, projected to grow).
A projected index of starting salaries by major through 2031 — see which fields, like Nursing and Biomedical Engineering, are on track for the strongest growth, and which, like Journalism and Graphic Design, may see salaries flatten or decline.
Projected U.S. job displacement from AI automation by 2030 and 2035, broken down by industry — from retail and manufacturing (highest exposure) to education and real estate (lower exposure), with specific roles named for each sector.
A ten-item checklist of concrete, self-directed moves — from building an AI-proof resume to testing a business idea before graduation — that separate students who get hired from students who just get a degree.
An interactive 15-year financial model comparing a trade career (electrician) against three college outcomes — best-case, moderate, and underemployed — tracking net income after student loan payments, year by year.
Drew Bossi is a Sophomore at Tufts University; his grandfather, Michael McGrath, has spent decades studying how technology reshapes work. College in the Age of AI grew out of conversations between them about how different their paths through college and career looked. Michael offers his thoughts on how AI will reshape College and careers, and Drew provides his insights and experience as he lives through it.
