I added an economics minor just to prove I was hireable.
Not because I loved econ. Because I knew “history major” on a resume made recruiters skeptical.
Most professors I’d talked to knew it too. They just didn’t have a way to fix it.
That’s a broken system. That’s a broken system. Professors develop the skills employers actually want (critical thinking, analysis, communication, reasoning under pressure) but there’s no way to prove it.
Just a GPA and a major that makes recruiters ask “so what are you going to do with that?”
So I went to Morgan Stanley. Told them day one I’d be a teacher in two years. They laughed. I was serious.
I became a teacher. Built a company. Got an MBA at Booth. And every step of the way, I used skills I developed as a history major.
Not textbook knowledge, but the ability to analyze ambiguous situations and defend my reasoning.
Every discipline has the potential to develop the skills the world needs most. Most courses never realize that potential because there’s no way to measure whether thinking is actually happening.
So faculty default to what they can measure: memorization, essays, exams. And the skills that matter most stay invisible.
Jensen Huang told students to stop studying computer science. Sam Altman says human-centric skills are the future.
They’re right. But “trust us, our graduates can think” isn’t enough anymore.
Professors need proof. We built it.
A platform where students reason through realistic scenarios and every decision is measured. Not by whether they got the right answer, but by how they thought through it.
