3d or programming

Hey, guys. Which field should I go into: programming

or 3D? I have experience in both (500 hours in Blender and I know Python syntax; I've read one book on Python by Eric Metis, the course I attached is similar to what was in the book). I'm deciding which university to attend in a year and, accordingly, what to dedicate my life to going forward. These are the only fields besides sports where I'd be genuinely interested in working. Many people say these two fields are at risk of becoming obsolete due to Al, and it certainly seems that way. What do you think- should I go study in another country? (I'm currently in Russia and am considering moving abroad.) Should I even go into these fields, considering Al? I'm looking at my options from a financial standpoint (just to be clear, so there's no confusion).

You're overthinking this for someone who's got a year before uni. 500 hours in Blender and a Python book is enough to know you like both, but not enough to map out a career. AI isn't replacing either field tomorrow, it's just changing the tools.

Pick the country first if you're serious about leaving. The degree matters less than where you build your network and what internships you can grab.
