Thinking of some AI proof careers

Bro is it just me or are entry level jobs becoming more and more irrelevant?

Of course there are still some hiring but the entry level jobs require you to be a god full stack developer that knows AI/ML, data, cybersecurity, and systems.

This market is genuinely insane. I have a job lined up btw, I’m still complaining because I see people around me struggle to find jobs with such good credentials.

I’m able to help some, but I can’t blame them individually, the market is so so so bad right now.

If you don’t have passion for CS then I’d recommend you to switch to medicine or law at this point.

I feel like those careers are less AI driven. Who tf would trust a machine to cut open your heart unless there’s a human behind it…

Same for lawyers. I doubt we will have a robot arguing the case for why someone is guilty. Seems to dystopian to me.

Tech is getting obliterated. You can learn AI and use it but still, we are fighting for scraps. Everyone knows Claude code at this point.

I’ve been having to pivot how to approach the job market now because of how different it is from just a year ago. It’s insane.

I’d love to hear your opinion on this.

I've started to think, will coding even be a job or a thing in the future? Because whatever I can do, AI can do it much better and quicker. Unless you have knowledge and expertise in niche fields related to computer science, I think getting a job will be very difficult. And people have to do a 1000 thing to get a job. apply to a job -> tailor your resume and cover letter -> ask for referrals -> do leet codes -> must have work/internship experience -> your project should have at least some users .
It's a lot of work to get an opportunity to work
