What sort of careers can be considered "compounding" in the way Altman describes it?

Economist? Engineer? Lawyer? Doctor? Dentist?

I'm an economist, and i've always wondered if people with 2 years of experience can be better than those with 20+ years - if they're smart enough.

I might be wrong (too lazy to check; on mobile), but I don’t think he is talking about compounding careers per se, but rather advices to look for opportunities that compound.
