This is debatable. UC Berkley is an elite university yet computer science majors at that school are now mostly unemployed. The major you choose matters more nowadays imo. Me personally if I could do it all over again I'd go to college at some school in Huntsville Alabama because of the sheer amount of jobs there. Huntsville Alabama rn is a cheat code that most dont know about. Same with Florida/Denver and aerospace engineering.
Apparently witchta state university is deep in aerospace too

Simple steps to become AI proof:

>track 1: Become and engineer in a field where baby boomers will be retiring from in BIG numbers
1) Go to college and major in one of these majors: Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Computer engineering (computer engineering is only here for the FPGA design and embedded systems... other than that avoid it since Indians are all over its related fields)
2) Focus on power systems, embedded systems, or FPGA design. Lots of jobs in these areas as baby boomers retired. Especially for defense contractors or utility companies.
3) Can easily get a job at utility company or defense contractor (assuming youre a citizen of course)

>track 2: Join the navy as a nuclear officer.
A lot of money is about to flow into the Navy bc the pentagon has been posting "Chinese navy" fear porn lately.
1) Go to college and major in mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, or physics.
2) Ask your school coounselor about the "NUPOC" program. it's really eaasy to get accepted into this program if you know the basics of differential equations, classical physics, and some very basic thermo/fluid dynamics stuff (shyt you learned in highscool). They'll gve you a phone interview testing you on this stuff.
3) Spend most of your days teaching enlisted NUKE personnel at power school or prototype
4) Earn big money
5) Once you get out of the navy, you can make EVEN MORE money working at Data Centers as a critical facifilies engineer.

>track 3: become a merchant marine
1) Straight out of highschool apply to some kind of maritime academy (some colleges arent maritime academies but have the same program that is used to help you become a merchant marine).
2) Become a merchant marine... profit.

>track 4: Join the navy as an enlisted personnel ==> become a nuke
1) Take the asvab and score high. make sure to review the electronics section. math section, mechanical aptitude section, reading and writing section as well as some physics as it will flag you for consideration for NUKE
2) If you're a citizen and you did well at 1) youll get the NUKE rate
3) become a nuke
4) Get out and become a nuclear instrumentation and controls engineer. MAKE BIG MONEY doing this.

>A major theme here is cleaerance. By doing a lot of these you earn some kind of clearace whether secret or top secret. Enjoy automatically getting hired after browsing clearancejobs

I WILL DELETE THIS POST SOON. BUT THIS IS THE CHEAT CODE IF YOU DONT WANT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AI shyt. Do you concur @IIVI ?
And to add to this, I have a feeling that being highly skilled in the agriculture industry is something folks should also look into

Firstly I’m very biased
I would call myself successful in my IT career and even changed career paths 4 times in my life.
And the most I have is a high school degree, that’s it.

I never really believed in College or Uni.

Now I have to decide what will I tell my kids to do.


The answer is entrepreneurship and group economics. I also work in IT despite my degree being totally unrelated. And a complete waste of freaking money for what it cost.

Crippling some young kid at 18 with this staggering amount of debt is borderline criminal. And you have people labeling it as good debt when there is no such thing. The American public is completely indoctrinated by the elites of the country.

The people constantly hyping college almost always have massive student loan debt they can't dream of paying off.

I was offered the nuke program but went with the advanced electronic computer field and became a fire control man (FC) . Shoulda coulda lol

Go to the hospital and ask for a job a a physician.

Tell them you don’t need medical school you have AI.

:beli:

You are misunderstanding what I’m saying. But you are right too.
Sure there are fields that are more safe than others.
I think universities will transform and become more specialized for those protected fields.
But there will be downsizing.
AI will transform but not totally replace physicians. Teams will be likely to see role specialization (AI-integrated radiologists, surgeons using robotics).

Perhaps my OP was too much of blanket statement.
I wasn’t thinking of healthcare when I wrote it either

This! This man knows wtf he's talking about. Think I've mentioned it on here but my old office fought to get AAMU, FAMU, and NCA&T in on a $1BN Dept of the Army STEM/R&D investment on Redstone. They even got the Marshall Space Flight Center to tag along on it. Built Georgia Tech a state of the art campus right out the main gate of the base. There's a reason the sheer number of PhD's in that area is one of the highest per capita. Black folks can make a killing there. I've seen it with my own eyes
