The "College-to-Cubicle" Dream is Frozen: Why Your Next Office Job Might Be a Trade
The world's largest recruitment boss just dropped a truth bomb on the Class of 2026.
Sander van 't Noordende, CEO of Randstad, recently told Fortune that the traditional path—get a degree, land a desk, climb the corporate ladder—is officially "fading." As AI continues to automate entry-level white-collar tasks, the once-reliable office floor is becoming a ghost town for new grads.
His advice? Trade the keyboard for a toolbox.
Why the Shift?
We are seeing a massive "rebalancing" of the global workforce. While many entry-level marketing, HR, and admin roles are being absorbed by algorithms, the demand for physical expertise is skyrocketing. $CHZ
Van 't Noordende points out a stark reality:
The "Frozen" Office: Companies are hiring fewer junior analysts and more AI-integrated systems.
The "Scarcity" Premium: There is a critical shortage of people who can actually build, fix, and move things.
Economic Resilience: You can’t outsource a plumbing emergency or "prompt engineer" a bridge into existence. $OPEN
The New "High-Demand" Hit List
If you're looking for job security and a paycheck that beats a junior desk role, Randstad’s chief suggests looking into these key areas:
Mechanical & Maintenance Engineering: Essential for the green energy transition and keeping automated factories running.
Skilled Trades: Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians are seeing record-high demand and rising wages.
Logistics & Heavy Operations: Machine operators and truck drivers remain the literal backbone of the global economy.
Healthcare & Education: Fields where "Human Empathy" is a non-negotiable requirement that AI can't replicate. $GLM
The "stigma" of trade work is dying. In a world of digital abundance, physical skill is the new luxury. Van 't Noordende isn't saying college is useless—he's saying it’s time to stop chasing "status" and start chasing utility.

🇯🇵 49% of Japanese Companies Have an “Old Man Who Does Nothing”
In Japan, the term “madogiwa-zoku” refers to older employees who remain on the payroll with little or no real responsibilities—often as a gesture of respect or to avoid pushing them into early retirement.
A recent survey revealed that nearly half of Japanese companies maintain such roles, usually assigned to senior staff in their late fifties or sixties, enabling them to stay employed until the official retirement age while contributing only minimally to daily operations.
Though sometimes criticized as inefficient, these positions are also seen as a cultural practice tied to loyalty, respect for seniority, and preservation of harmony within traditional corporate structures.
💡 Would you keep an ‘old man who does nothing’ on your team, or is it just wasted payroll?
