Thank you for the suggestions, thinking about pursuing those other areas does make me feel better. You're right about AI. I do use it as a supplement at work and I was never really worried about it until people I know that work on it or with it started getting in my head about how it's going to replace me. I realize that they're biased but it's hard to not take it personal. I really like your line about challenging myself more, you're completely right. I've gotten stagnant and while I think I would enjoy EE, I am using it as an escape from my current situation. I've considered the degree in CS but I would have to start almost from scratch. I only have an associates so I would still have to get my bachelors first. I wouldn't mind pursuing it, but again I hear that it's not so useful anymore which led me to think about other degrees I would enjoy. I'll definitely try the decision matrix and like you said, brew on it for a bit before making a decision because I have made rush decisions in the past. I think there will probably be a "grass is greener on the other side" moment with either choice but I just have to make one and stick with it. |

The mass media, and most people are getting twisted regarding AI. I stopped listening and reading any AI news a while back, which really helps. I do think EE sounds a bit like escapism in its current form. If you do decide to do EE, do it from a place of confidence and passion rather than fear of career failure etc. that’s when you’ll know it’s a good choice.
I do think people over estimate degrees a bit, in Software you can get very far without one, just pays to have experience and a portfolio if possible.
Speaking of decision matrix, make sure to add a special priority called “green grass bias” and give it the inverse weight of your top priority. Eg if your top priority weight is “10”, this bias should be “-10”.
And for all the options that aren’t your current situation, add this negative bias to their totals. So if doing EE scores 50 points, after the bias it will score 40 points.
I use it as a way to calculate for bias where the grass is greener.
Good luck mate, it will all be okay
