Sure. I think AI is more likely to destroy any other field I'd end up in before it makes software engineering obsolete. Like, my other main interest before (job wise) was journalism, and that field basically got annihilated by the internet in general, with AI only making it worse.

Plus it seems like it's the best paying career that's 'practical' to get into for most people too. Like, menial office work is being automated or replaced. Most entry level jobs pay like crap with terrible working conditions. Trades and manual work are hard on the body, especially in the long run.

Software engineering is something that anyone can learn without a specialised degree, which can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year based on the company and location, and which has a hell of a less luck involved than say, becoming an athlete, musician, influencer, etc.
