The job market's gravitation towards specification and what it means for the young and the old?

As a young college graduate, understand that entering into the startup market is a new and exciting prospect for me. My degree trained me to be a flexible asset in the office space and think creatively about the encompassing problems of today. One of the many reasons I am thrilled to be a part of the start up world is that it encourages my models, budgets, solutions to be adaptable. There is praise yielded in successes and lessons to cultivated from failures. Perspective is valued in world of start ups because new angles uncover new audiences and different needs an even wider arrange of markets. However, one of the problems I encountered getting here was the rigorous and formulaic needs prescribed by the job search. My training when translated on paper paints a specified portrait of my achievements and capabilities that when looked at analytically doesn't always fit the specifications of certain market's requirements. My question moving forward surrounds itself with whether or not our economy's gravitation towards specified workers is a helpful and sustainable model? Inevitably as technology deepens it's roots in how the modern world functions, it will play a larger role in the grand scheme of our lives. But is our increasing reliance and investment in technological advancement closing more doors than it opens? Are we leaving behind in it's wake a group of highly specified workers unable to catch up or compete with the turnover of automation? Furthermore, how can we train young adults and those who's job descriptions are evolving in the digital era to meet the needs of specified labor?
