You answered your own question — the future is too uncertain to give you a great answer to that question. Suppose you go to college and hit the job market at 22. You’re trying to predict 6 years out, which is really hard.

Knowledge isn’t meaningless. It’ll never be meaningless. Or rather, there will always be experts, it’s just not clear in what and how many. Stay agile and get good at something you see as there being a demand for one day. This probably isn’t something that there’s demand for today. You have to use your imagination a bit, but you can’t really go wrong with mastering basically anything. You always learn. Make sure you do something you can be passionate in and hold interest in. Focus goes a long way. You will, after enough time of navigating this, have accrued a very unique set of skills that can be crossed with one another to solve very interesting problems. You’ll always do well if you can be a good problem solver.
