Bill Gates has revealed the three skills he believes will make someone successful in the future job market — and it rules out anyone who doesn’t excel in science and numbers.
Based on data he has collected, the iconic tech entrepreneur and Microsoft co-founder said people with three backgrounds will be the most in-demand in the coming years: sciences, engineering and economics.
Speaking to LinkedIn Executive Editor Daniel Roth, Mr Gates said: “I do think of basic knowledge of the sciences, math skills, economics — a lot of careers in the future will be very demanding on those things.
”[It's] not necessarily that you'll be writing code, but you need to understand what can engineers do and what can they not do.”
The billionaire entrepreneur added that workers proficient in those subjects will be “the agents of change for all institutions”.
