As a former prof. What you should be learning from any STEM degree (and many other degrees as well) is to think clearly, rigorously, creatively, and with discipline, etc. You also need to learn the skill of learning content and skills quickly.

The specific contents or skills of your degree don't matter that much. In pretty much any STEM field, over the last 100ish years, whatever you learned in your undergraduate was mostly irrelevant by the time you retired.

Everyone got by, by staying on top of the new developments in the field and doing them. With AI, the particular skills needed to use the power of computers to do things in the world have changed. Just learn those skills.
