“The world of work has changed a lot in just the past five years, and the changes continue to accelerate” said Singh, who earned his undergraduate degree in 2004 from the University of Delhi in his native India before emigrating to the United States. “The days when you could rely on a degree alone are over. Higher levels of specialization are needed.”
