Given the tumultuousness and volatility of business, economics, and indeed the very framework of modern society as a whole in the last few years as well as expected into the future, are our educations really going to be all that relevant or applicable in 5 or 10 years?
I'm not worried that I am wasting my time or anything; at worst, I'm building a foundation for the entirely unknown future in which we will all have to adapt and learn or sink. I would like to know everyone's thoughts on this. How much different will the future be in a few years? How much of our business education will we have to unlearn and relearn? Should students new to the fields take things like Keynesian economics or modern business strategy with a grain of salt? How far behind the curve might we be already?
