| I think you need to cheer up first :) When I was getting into programming, everyone was warning me that the jobs would all be outsourced soon. That didn't happen, or not in any kind of apocalyptic way. I'm not certain what you're concerned about, so I'll address a couple of things. The job market is in a rough place. This happens. It's a pendulum that never stops swinging. Make yourself useful somewhere and hope for the best. If you're paid well and smart with money, you can weather the storms. AI is making crazy, disturbing advancements right now. However, it is not even close to being able to fully replace a human in a programming or similarly technical job (I'm not an AI researcher, but that's my observation). It's a good time to get familiar with these tools, because it seems very likely that we'll all be using them in some capacity, rather than working for them. This is not hugely different from the computer revolution we already went through. So yes, get an education. For your own enjoyment/self-fulfillment if nothing else. |
