The strangeness of these vases cannot be overstated. They're hewn out of some of the hardest stones known to man with micron precision. Mathematical relationships like pi, phi, and the flower of life are encoded in their construction. And they are OLD. Some have been found in tombs that date back to 6000 BC, more than three thousand years before the peak of Egyptian civilization. When they are discovered, it is always among other vases that *look* similar, but lack the precision and fine workmanship, or are made from softer stone. It is as if they are prized heirlooms, passed along through the generations, from a people whose ability to work stone (at the very least) rivals ours - but who are completely missing from the archaeological record. Who were these people? Why did they make these vases? What else were they doing? We sit down with Ben to unravel the story.

Todays episode is on current state of education, international students in the U.S., and the disconnect between universities, job markets, and the harsh realities faced by graduates.1. US universities urge international students to return to campus before Trump inaugurationhttps://www.cnn.com/2024/12/26/us/international-students-us-colleges-trump/index.html* Universities in the U.S. are urging their international students to return to the country before potential political changes occur, especially with the possibility of Donald Trump being sworn in again.* The fear stems from potential changes in immigration policies and visa rules that could impact students' ability to stay in the U.S.* This has created uncertainty among students and their families, as they are now worried about completing their education and securing jobs in the U.S.Read more on this story in above link. This was the Top News Story this week , which made headlines in national news. Very high level, this looks like because in 2016 trump restricted entry to U.S from few nations, so universities are taking caution to let their students return back to U.S before trump inauguration. This is not just about travel bans which may come up, there is a dark reality behind this news. 2. Record Numbers of International Students to US To understand why Universities are making this request. Check this link for actual facts about number of international students coming to U.S annually. https://opendoorsdata.org/annual-release/international-students/* In 2023/24, the total number of international students in the U.S. increased by 7% to a record high of 1,126,690 students.* The number of international students coming to the U.S. in 2023 has broken records, surpassing even pre-pandemic levels.* Universities have been offering more seats for postgraduate programs to international students, prioritizing revenue without factoring in the job market's ability to absorb these graduates.* This influx of students has led to oversaturation in some fields, particularly in technology and computer science.* Also Students moving here, International graduate students and students on OPT reached record highs. OPT: The number of international students who remained in the United States to gain practical work experience through Optional Practical Training (OPT) reached a record high of 242,782 students, an increase of 22% from the prior year.3. Disconnect Between Universities and Job Markets* Many universities are increasing enrollment in postgraduate programs, ignoring the availability of jobs in those fields.* Universities mainly focus on revenue by filling seats rather than on the actual job market conditions.* Students—both international and domestic—are graduating with high expectations of lucrative jobs that may not exist.* The gap between academic programs and industry needs is widening, leaving graduates frustrated and underpaid.4. U.S. Tech Job Market Reality* The U.S. tech job market has been volatile, with massive layoffs from companies like Google, Amazon, and Meta over the past year.* Entry-level positions in technology have become scarce, making it challenging for new graduates to secure employment.* Even when graduates find jobs, many are underpaid, earning as low as $35 per hour (~$70,000 per year).* In cities where tech jobs are concentrated—like San Francisco, Seattle, or New York—this pay is not sustainable due to the high cost of living, which often requires an income of $135,000 or more per year to live comfortably.5. Challenges for 2022 and 2023 Batches of Students* The 2022 batch of postgraduate students has started entering the job market in 2024, but many are struggling to find jobs six months into their Optional Practical Training (OPT) period.* The 2023 batch will face even greater challenges in 2025, as the tech job market continues to struggle with layoffs and economic uncertainty.* International students face additional challenges as they have limited time during their OPT period to secure employment, or they risk losing their legal status in the U.S.6. Salary Disparity and Cost of Living* Many jobs offered to international and domestic students in tech are paying far below market expectations.* Living expenses in major cities make it nearly impossible for graduates to save money or pay off student loans.* Students are increasingly questioning the return on investment (ROI) of U.S. higher education, given the low starting salaries compared to the high cost of education and living.7. Universities' Role in This Crisis* Universities are failing both international and domestic students by overselling the promise of well-paying jobs after graduation.* They are prioritizing their financial gain, enrolling record numbers of students, and not considering the long-term impact on students' careers.* U.S. universities have been criticized for not offering adequate support to international students, such as career counseling, job placement assistance, or realistic expectations about job prospects.* Domestic students, too, are suffering due to skyrocketing tuition costs and student loan debt, with no guarantee of securing jobs that allow them to pay off this debt.8. Shifting Trends in Education* More domestic students in the U.S. are opting out of traditional four-year college programs due to the high costs and poor job market outcomes.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/why-more-americans-are-skipping-college* Instead, they are enrolling in short-term skill-based programs, such as Google's six-month certifications, which are much more affordable and lead to well-paying jobs.https://grow.google/* Companies like Google and Microsoft are offering alternative pathways to employment that challenge the traditional education model, such as online courses, apprenticeships, and job-specific training.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/* These programs provide students with practical skills in months rather than years, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional degree.9. The Outdated Narrative Around Education* The old belief that pursuing a postgraduate degree guarantees a high-paying job in a top-tier company no longer holds true in the U.S. job market.* Students are following outdated advice without considering the current realities, such as economic instability, a competitive job market, and rising living costs.* Many students are not researching job market trends, relying instead on the assumption that a U.S. degree will automatically lead to success.10. Future Challenges for 2025 and Beyond* The large number of students graduating in 2025 will likely overwhelm the job market further, especially in fields like computer science and data analytics.* Students need to start exploring alternative career paths, upskilling in niche areas, and networking early to improve their chances of employment.* International students must also prepare for uncertainties surrounding visa rules, OPT timelines, and job search challenges.11. Call to Action for Universities* Universities must align their academic offerings with job market demands, reducing oversaturation in popular fields like computer science.* They should offer more transparent data on career outcomes, helping students make informed decisions about their education.* Career counseling, internships, and partnerships with industry leaders should be mandatory to prepare students for the job market.* Universities should also advocate for policy changes that support international students, such as extended OPT timelines or simplified visa processes.12. Advice for Students and Families* Research the job market in your chosen field before committing to a degree program.* Consider the cost of living in the area where you plan to work after graduation and how much income you'll need to break even.* Look into alternative education paths like certifications, apprenticeships, and bootcamps that provide practical skills in a shorter time frame.* Network early, gain practical experience through internships, and focus on acquiring in-demand skills to improve employability.13. Closing Thoughts* The U.S. education system is facing a major crisis, with students graduating into a market that cannot meet their expectations or needs.* Universities need to prioritize students' futures over their own financial gain.* Students and families must make informed decisions, keeping the current economic and job market realities in mind.* It's time for a shift in how we view education and career preparation, moving away from outdated models and toward practical, skill-based learning.That is all for this week.

Hello and welcome to episode 110 of Webflail. I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Zena Potter. Since 2022, she's been working as a freelance web designer and Webflow developer. She creates websites that attract, engage, and convert your target audience. But basically, she works with All sorts of different clients.She's worked with FinTech clients. She's worked with physiotherapy clients. She's done a lot of different websites in different industries before freelancing. She's worked in project management and PA consulting. So I think what's interesting about her is that she knows the client process really well, which I think a lot of web flows actually don't know as well as they need to.We'll talk a little bit about that in this episode. Another thing that we'll talk about is. Xena's approach to marketing herself as a freelancer. Alongside showing her work, she also shows behind the scenes like hiking, brunch, talking about things broader than just Webflow. So interesting to note there at the start of this episode too.But has it all been easy breezy for Zena? Of course not. The failures that we'll talk about today are:1) Not LinkedIn/networking2) Undercharging in cases where she could have charged more but lack the confidence3) Not establishing a routine as a freelancer00:00 Introduction and Initial Struggles00:28 Meet the Guest: Zena Potter01:37 Discussing Failures and Challenges04:58 Networking and Overcoming Isolation12:21 Project Management Skills in Freelancing16:12 Learning and Transitioning to Web Design17:46 Getting Clients and Marketing Strategies22:32 Importance of LinkedIn and Networking26:29 Building Connections as a Freelancer27:20 The Importance of LinkedIn Marketing28:23 Being Authentic Online29:29 Consistency and Engagement on Social Media31:58 The Slow Process of Gaining Clients35:23 The Struggle with Pricing39:00 Learning to Charge What You're Worth46:23 Balancing Fun and Financial Goals49:30 Establishing a Routine as a Freelancer53:56 Future Challenges and BoundariesWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR ZENA‍

This is Zack Fuss. Today we are breaking down Merck, one of the world's largest and oldest pharmaceutical companies. The company has been shaping medicine and fostering innovation for over 130 years. From its humble beginnings as a small family pharmacy in Germany, today's iteration of Merck has transformed into a nearly $300 billion market cap business with particular strength in oncology.  At the heart of Merck's recent success is Keytruda, arguably the world's most important cancer drug. This single medication now generates over $25 billion in annual revenue. But, Merck's story is not only about Keytruda, it's about a company that's consistently pursued innovative science, combined with a handful of bold decisions, which resulted in the development of some of the world's first vaccines and breakthroughs in diabetes treatment.  To break down Merck, I am joined by Ashwin Varma, who is currently a medical student at UT Health San Antonio. We unpack Merck's business model, explore its industry-leading oncology franchise, and examine its pipeline of future drugs, and understand how they have navigated the complex world of pharmaceutical patents and regulation.
