With AI reshaping the workplace, students are facing a new dilemma when choosing a university degree: which careers will still be viable by the time they graduate?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Leslie Tam, Director of University Guidance and Counselling at XCL World Academy, about how students and parents can navigate university choices in an increasingly AI-driven job market.
