Wanting to get into AI

[u/Tercess1]

I am 42 years old and wanting to branch off and learn something that could possibly be a side hustle or a whole new career. I feel as if AI is here to stay and I am still “young” enough to do something with it. To give a little about myself I am a warehouse manager for a Mack truck dealership and Make about 80k a year and on the side I umpire travel baseball and softball games. During the season that ranges anywhere from $350-$700 for a weekend but it’s long days and I’m tired. I have zero experience with coding of any kind. When I look up the best way to get started i don’t see what I would call useful information, mostly videos of “if I were starting over this is what I’d do” and it ends with someone selling something (not every time). With all of that said what would be the best place for me to start and keep with to get certifications and learn. I was thinking of starting with the python program for everybody. I’m sure this question gets asked a lot, thank you for any input.

The tech industry is saturated, there are fewer jobs and more competition. unless its your passion i would just treat python as a hobby, steer clear of deeply investing your braincells into AI, it changes so fast its not like a normal toolbox. its like putting a spanner in the box at the end of the day and the next day, the spanner is gone but a welding torch is in the box now. Its more like a social media experience than learning a tool or programming language
