The job market has changed — globally, permanently, and fast. Yet in the Caribbean, too many of us are still preparing our children (and ourselves) for a world that no longer exists. In this episode, Keron Rose breaks down the hard truths about outdated degrees, oversaturated career paths, and the urgent need to rethink how we educate and position ourselves for success in a global economy.
He shares the real-life turning point that started with a 60-second video — and led to brand deals, digital income, and international opportunities. From someone who built a thriving business without a degree, this is the uncensored deep dive beyond the newspaper article that sparked regional conversation.
