AI and college degrees – level 2
14-05-2025 07:00
Some students in the US don’t go to college, and they choose jobs like welding or plumbing.
These students finish high school and get good jobs. Some jobs give 50,000 dollars or more every year. These jobs are popular because companies need many workers.
College students often use AI like ChatGPT for homework. Some students say they don’t write their homework but let the AI do it. This makes people think whether college is still useful. Many students learn more from the internet.
Many people now talk about other ways to learn. Some schools want to start shop classes again. Some programs help students learn jobs with their hands. These ways can help students get good jobs and make money.
Difficult words: welding (joining pieces of metal together with heat), plumbing (putting in and fixing pipes for water and toilets in homes or buildings), shop class (a school class where students learn to work with tools and materials).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
