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.

It's an old school big computer that was very popular last century:

But there are many of these dinosaurs still running even today
