8. Creativity as an Economic Engine
“The MFA is the new MBA.”
Routine labor and tasks will be increasingly

Multiple jobs will be the norm,

Creative capital and the ability to
innovate will be increasingly important

In an age where information is abundant
and nearly instantaneous, education must
happen differently
