CAREERMASH · TEN-MINUTE LESSON SHEET · GENERAL STUDIES · MEASURED AUGUST 2026
Who does AI come for first in General Studies?
Objectives (Gatsby 2 & 4 aligned)
- Students can explain what an AI exposure score measures (the share of a job's tasks AI is already used for; a measurement of now, not a prediction).
- Students can name one career in General Studies that measures low and one that measures high, and say why the difference exists.
- Students can describe one “moat”: something structural that protects work from software.
The activity (8-10 minutes)
- Project whatcareer.net/en/yellow/class and pick General Studies.
- Each round: two careers, hands-up vote on which one AI is doing more of, arrow key to record the room's call, space to flip.
- After eight rounds, print the lesson record (one click on the final screen).
Discussion prompts, from this subject's live cards
- Routine inspectors and testers measures 19 and Admin Assistant measures 45, in the same subject. What is different about the day-to-day tasks?
- Of the General Studies careers shown, 5 have a structural moat. Which moat would you rather stand behind: hands-on work, legal accountability, or people wanting a real person - and why?
- A high score is a measurement of today, not a prediction of disappearance. What is one job where AI does much of the work and humans still matter more than ever?
