Premise:

1. I constantly see people saying they have x,y,z knowledge but they were rejected because missing something companies are looking for.

2. It also seems like organizations need increasingly need ML skills and as fast as possibile.

3. The number of uni graduates in these specializations is always very low compared to the potential demand and orgs always will complain those graduates don't know all the skills and tools they would need in a full time job.

Be it real or fake, seems like we have a disconnect here between supply and demand and I can't believe there's no one who successfully built an end-to-end curriculum for a (free or paid) bootcamp to profit from this disconnect, the same way swe/coding bootcamps contributed creating employment in the past (now dead due to AI/shifts in tech hiring).

By "successfully" built I mean "consistently works in taking people from 0 to hired"

Evergreen question probably but here's the angle I am looking at it from: say you are a person who likes and is used to explore ideas very deep and in a systematic way.

You might have collected a lot of notes and thoughts about it but those notes might be more related to philosophical considerations, impact on society, impact on relations, etc.

So you might have a lot to say about a topic, to the point you have identified what could be considered "themes" (in creative writing jargon) around it, but this does not translate in any way into having a story idea for fiction.

In other words being skilled in ideas exploration does not equate to story generation feeling easy or natural. In fact it might totally feel like you are trying to brute-force find a story to tell.

And here is where I am wondering: do you usually start with the high level story idea (like main characters, key events, final outcome) already formed when you start writing?

I see from the communities that many people (if not all) seem to naturally have a constant flow of stories, many of them say they wrote multiple books in their life, so it feels like it's a skill you are born with.
