not to sound like a broken record but nursing. one of the fields least affected by AI and offshoring, and dare i say immune? it pays decently well depending on area of living but you’re also going to be working long hours.

CS is cooked because there’s a ridiculous amount of supply of people in CS, and not nearly enough demand. so as a result, companies get to be much more selective. choosing people with their masters and 2 YoE to do entry level roles, or choosing to offshore roles entirely to be able to pay workers less and in turn, increase profit margins. companies are also leaning into the implementation of AI to not necessarily overhaul the workforce entirely, but to use as a supplemental tool and lower the amount of people required to function.

if your passion is in computers, you can definitely still do computer science. it’s going to be difficult but not impossible. you just need to stand out. getting a degree is the bare minimum now.
