Jobs That Don't Exist Yet!

I'm Into Jobs That Don't Even Exist Yet - This is a video that I made to prepare for and accompany my SXSW Interactive 2013 Proposal. In it, I describe the Hipster Method in which students are training for jobs that don't exist yet (like the hipster t-shirt that declares "I'm Into Bands That Don't Even Exist Yet"). Several former students discuss how they have been able to adapt to the requirements of the job market, and Aron Pilhofer of The New York Times talks about recruiting strategies he uses to identify creative and flexible candidates.
