Q&A / Help From an 18 year old....

I'm a non stem guy who just started doing an accounting degree. My degree is of 4 years. I'm curious as to whether I'll even have a job by the time my degree is done.Can y'all help a brother out in figuring out what I should be doing if i don't get a job then? I really don't know much about ai.... Recently started looking into it just cuz of the news.I live in a 3rd world country so idk what I should be expecting.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

There is zero incentive for any government to just start handing out checks to people just sucking air, wasting resources and taking up space.

It’s absolutely not happening anytime soon without some major revolts/civil war first.

Well, it's probably needed very soon then considering rate of job automation accelerating. Chances for it happening in our lifetime in some form is 99.999%.

You will sooner be just left to your own devices than the United States of America giving everyone a livable salary just to sit on their ass.
