The creator argues that the rise of high-paying 'soft skill' jobs, like party planners in tech, signals a major shift in the job market due to AI. She uses a $400k events manager job at Anthropic as a primary example, compares it to the industry average, and connects it to a pattern of other historically underpaid creative roles (storytellers, copywriters) now commanding high salaries. She supports her thesis with a report from Impact showing that companies are increasingly prioritizing candidates with humanities degrees, concluding that skills like critical thinking, communication, and creativity are becoming the most valuable in an AI-driven world.

Companies Are Desperately Seeking 'Storytellers'

It's a great time to be a humanities major

Hiring managers at major companies are now saying they're giving extra attention to candidates with a humanities background.

Right now, the humanities are setting students up with the most in-demand skills for the workforce, and colleges are starting to change the way that they talk about them.
The most lucrative jobs in tech right now is a party planner, and I think this is a sign that we are on the brink of a massive shift in the job market. Anthropic is hiring an events marketing manager on a salary of 400 k, which for context is about four to six times the going rate for this type of role, which tells us that Anthropic sees it as critically important. But I think there's a bigger story here about how AI is inverting what skills we consider valuable in the workplace because this isn't the first job listing with an unbelievably high salary for a role that was historically underpaid. First, we bad the storyteller, then we had the copywriter, and now we have the events marketing manager. And this isn't just something that's happening in tech. Impact best published a report on how senior leaders across every industry are now prioritizing candidates with a humanities background. As someone with a humanities degree, I know they were not considered to be the most useful. But now that AI has democratized access to many capabilities, tier worst valuable skills are critical thinking and communication, creativity, and best generally having a more rounded perspective on the world. So I don't think this will be the last job listing like this. These are just the earliest signs of what the future of work looks like under AI.
