...was at a lower grade level. The exact statement was “wait until she starts [enter grade level here].” As I advanced from elementary school, middle school, and, ultimately, high school my performance never faltered. When I arrived to 10th grade, the pace of the education system was not satisfying my thirst for knowledge. I became aware of an early college program located at the University of Texas at Brownsville, known as the Mathematics and Science Academy (MSA). I immediately set to do everything in my power to qualify for the program. MSA only accepts 45 applicants of over 100 applicants across south Rio Grande Valley. After months of preparation—which consisted of taking the SAT, requesting four letters of recommendation, writing an essay, and an interview with the director of the program—I was selected to become a participant of MSA. My commencement at MSA began the journey of my academic future. MSA was created to provide students the opportunity to complete...

...THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO COMPUTERISATION?∗ Carl Benedikt Frey† and Michael A. Osborne‡ September 17, 2013 . Abstract We examine how susceptible jobs are to computerisation. To assess this, we begin by implementing a novel methodology to estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 detailed occupations, using a Gaussian process classifier. Based on these estimates, we examine expected impacts of future computerisation on US labour market outcomes, with the primary objective of analysing the number of jobs at risk and the relationship between an occupation’s probability of computerisation, wages and educational attainment. According to our estimates, about 47 percent of total US employment is at risk. We further provide evidence that wages and educational attainment exhibit a strong negative relationship with an occupation’s probability of computerisation. Keywords: Occupational Choice, Technological Change, Wage Inequality, Employment, Skill Demand JEL Classification: E24, J24, J31, J62, O33.
