You are no longer secure after investing your or your parent's money in education
Because of these new trends of hiring and firing people under zero-hour contracts, agile working spaces setup during the #pandemic, working from remote location, and #AI/ML #robots replacing humans

And, if you are an Overseas Student, please don't get lured by the work permit, professional practise programs that offer industrial placement, and other visa extension nonsense, as we see in different jurisdictions.
There is no guarantee that you will find decent paid work

Already, a friend of mine, who is working as a registrar of programs at a Middle East-based university, is receiving tons of CVs a day, from respected university lecturers, and researchers from top western institutions.
I guess PhD Scholars are pre-empting sacking orders.

For e.g. in the UK they double charge the foreign students for the same degree which they offer to their local counterparts.
With Covid Delta Variant on the rise worldwide, I doubt if International students would pay double the amount to try their luck in the City or elsewhere.

Seriously, office space is itself going through a prolonged LEAN Period in terms of demand.
Nobody wants to hire a fancy new office and fill it up with staff, anywhere, because of #Covid.
That will be most hard-hitting in economic terms for cities such as Dubai, which rely on FDI

my advice to experienced professionals is that if you have money in your bank a/c & a sound job at the moment, you should completely postpone your plans to invest in further learning and development.
There is massive uncertainty everywhere! The King Asset Class in crisis is cash

Better for you to attend free of cost #MOOCs.
This is the best way to learn and upgrade your skill sets.
Why leave work for another two to three years, when we know that desk jobs might NOT be available in the foreseeable future, due to employer anxiety, and dismal job recovery.
