Bill Winters, the CEO of the 160-year-old bank standard, said that the MBA, which he deserved from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business, a “waste of time” War-Aber, which he received from Colgate University, is more worthwhile.
In an interview that was broadcast at the beginning of this week, Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua Winters asked 63, which he would recommend for young people. Winters replied with the statement that he studied international relations and history as a student in 1983. He recommended these fields and explained that he taught “thinking” in the areas of “thinking”.
But his Wharton MBA in 1988 was unnecessary, he said.
“I got an MBA later, but that was a waste of time,” said Winters to Bloomberg. “I learned how to think of the university. In the 40 years since I left the university, these skills have been worsened, worsened and degraded.”

Winters explained that critical thinking skills “come back” and are now more important in the workforce, since the AI ​​takes on tasks on the technical side.
“I really think in the Age of AI that it is critical that they know how to think and communicate,” said Winters.
He made it clear that communication does not mean behaving like chattt and expanding answers, but to know an audience and to anticipate their needs with curiosity and empathy. Technical skills are “less and less” needed, said Winters.

Winters started his career at JPmorgan in 1983 and rose over three decades and became the co-CEO of the investment bank of JPMorgan. He was seen as the potential successor to the JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, but was replaced by Dimon in October 2009. He started his own fund management business in Renshaw Bay in 2011 and changed as CEO in 2015.

Winter is not the only manager who promotes studying the humanities. The Chief Information Officer of Goldman Sachs, Marco Argenti, wrote last year in a post in the Harvard Business Review that the engineers should attend standard courses in addition to standard courses. This is the advice he gave his daughter in college age, which thought about what to study.
In the meantime, large technology companies quickly take the AI ​​in their business because the technology takes over the technical skills. AI generates about 30% of the new code on Google and Microsoft and up to half of the software development in Meta next year.
“Vibe coding” or AI code that have entire apps and projects based on input requests is also increasing. Even Google CEO Sundar Pichai explained at the beginning of this month that in his free time he used a website “Vibe Code” with AI coding assistants.
