NEW YORK — NYU’s Class of 2025 has crowned “TikTok Influencer” the top career, dethroning finance and pre-med with the art of pointing at floating text. Seventy-eight percent say “get ready with me” timing beats economics, biology, or engineering. “My roommate’s skincare TikToks pay more than lab tech work,” said senior Madison Chen, whose thesis became “Cells Dividing But Make It Fashion.” “Plus, free moisturizer is basically healthcare, right?” Career Services pivoted fast. “Our hottest workshop is ‘Turning Your Crippling Student Debt Into Relatable Content,’” said Director Dr. Patricia Holloway, mid-PowerPoint panic. Also trending: “Advanced Hashtag Theory” and “Branding Your Anxiety Disorder.” There’s even a certification in Professional Pointing for precise finger choreography. LinkedIn titles now read “Chief Happiness Officer and Part-Time Dancer” and “SVP of Aesthetic Vibes.” Economics major Tyler Rodriguez rebranded to “Money Moves Content Creator.” “Why Goldman when my office is my bathroom mirror?” he said, adjusting his ring light. Professors joined in. Philosophy’s Dr. Martin Weinstock went viral with “Existential Crisis But Make It Aesthetic.” Admissions touts “TikTok-friendly lighting.” The dean plans ring lights in every classroom. General ed may soon include Viral Content Creation.
