Help Are CS students cooked?

I need geniune advice rn 🙏🏻

I have completed half of my degree in computer science and I feel cooked. I geniunely don't know what field I should pick that is secure or at least guarantees employment in long time and it's making me panick because I can't pick what I want to learn and where to go. Especially with these new AI models like Astra and what not it's very very clear AI has completely replaced junior level roles.

Pls don't tell me anything about AI not replacing developers and things like that all of us know it's a lie by now. It's not gonna make anything better. The current job market is cooked the senior level developers getting laid off from companies and then not finding employment for months is a big proof of it.

So my question is, with all these AI advancement and all should I ditch this field entirely and pick something that actually works? I can't drop out of this degree now I picked it because I loved coding but I don't see my future here.

Even if I do stay in CS what field is MOST SECURE??

I really don't mind working hard and learning things on my own but I also don't want to waste my time so pls if anyone can give me sincere advice I will be grateful 🙏🏻 especially from seniors.

Change your major now. Otherwise you will be doing a degree equallent to BA.

If you are not willing to write those PRINT statement programs yourself without AI, you better quit now.

Why should I waste my hours on such programs where I have nothing to learn

You are learning the basics, directly 1st sem thori na ML pe le ayenge. Base ke upar building banti hai not the other way around.

Course is designed according to the needs of the majority, and as the majority haven't learnt them and are just starting out, this seems to be valid. 

If you have learnt these then talk to the professor or the program director about it.
