CDThe decision to go to college still makes sense for most, but a recent survey showed that only 16% Americans think a four-year college degree course prepares students well for a high-paying job in the modern economy. To som
35、e extent, technology seems to be complicating the picture.A paper published by several Canadian economists questions optimistic assumptions about demand for non-routine work and shows that since 2000 the share of employment accounted for by high-skilled jobs in America has been falling. This analysi
36、s supports the view that technology has come as a blow to employment. Skilled and unskilled workers alike are in trouble. Those with a better education are still more likely to find work, but there is now a fair chance that it will be unenjoyable. Those who never made it to college face being squeez

40、 demand is for new combinations of skills-what its boss, Matt Sigelman, calls “hybrid jobs. The composition of new jobs is also changing rapidly.A college degree at the start of a working career does not answer the need for the continuous acquisition of new skills， especially as career spans(持续时间) a
41、re lengthening. Vocational training(职业培训) is good at giving people job-specific skills, but those, too, will need to be updated over and over again during a career lasting decades. Vocational training has a role, but training someone early to do one thing all their lives is not the answer to lifelon
42、g learning.Add all of this up, and it becomes clear that times have got tougher for workers of all kinds. A college degree is still a necessity for many jobs, but employers often do not trust it enough to hire workers just on the strength of that. In many occupations workers on company payrolls face
