Are college degrees less relevant in AI era? LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman has an advice for students

In a world where ChatGPT writes code, Midjourney creates art, and AI resumes land interviews, it's no surprise that today's students are asking: Does my college degree still matter? The rise of AI has sparked a wave of uncertainty among young graduates, and Silicon Valley veteran Reid Hoffman—LinkedIn co-founder and venture capitalist—has stepped in with a timely reality check and some solid advice for the Class of 2025 and beyond. In a video shared on his YouTube channel this week, Hoffman addressed the growing concern around whether traditional degrees are becoming obsolete in an AI-powered job market. His answer was simple: Don't focus on the degree—focus on how you learn. 'Given that things are so disruptive, it's natural to feel anxious,' he said in response to a student's question. It's natural to question whether all the knowledge gained in college still holds value in a rapidly changing world. But the real benefit of a college education isn't tied to specific subjects or courses—it lies in developing the ability to learn, unlearn, and adapt as new tools and challenges emerge. According to Hoffman, the most powerful currency in the age of AI is not your diploma—it's your mindset. He urged students to stay curious, embrace lifelong learning , and keep experimenting with new tools and challenges. In a fast-changing world, adaptability is far more valuable than memorising a syllabus. He also emphasised that college is about more than just academics. It's a foundational period for building lasting relationships and a sense of community. The friends made and experiences shared during those years form a valuable network—one that can offer support, collaboration, and growth throughout both personal and professional journeys. In essence, Hoffman's advice is less about fearing obsolescence and more about future-proofing your mindset. In the AI era, your greatest asset isn't your degree—it's your ability to keep learning, stay connected, and adapt to whatever comes next.
