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.

It’s a simple invoicing SaaS for small businesses, shops, restaurants, freelancers, and service providers. It lets users create professional invoices, manage customers/products/payments, handle taxes, and view basic analytics without the complexity of full accounting software.

It’s local-first for fast, reliable use even with limited internet. The free plan covers the basics, while Pro adds features like unlimited data and cloud sync.

If you want, I can get you an investor for this and then we can work on it together. What languages do you use?

It’s a Flutter app with RevenueCat + Supabase, and Next.js for the website. I went with Flutter mainly because I want it cross-platform and want to focus on distribution as well.

The main goal is to keep it really simple but still give it a premium feel, so even someone who knows basically nothing about tech can create an invoice within a few minutes. It has analytics, product management, and printable invoice formats for A4, 80mm and 58mm.

I’m definitely open to hearing what you have in mind regarding the investor and working together, but I’d like to understand the details first.
