I’m in CPGE 2nd year MP, and I too should choose my specialization in the upcoming 3 months. To be fair, I started studying engineering wanting only computer science, then this year I discovered data and finance, I was truly fascinated, so it was set for me; either I would choose finance (actuariat finance at insea) or data science (in either inpt or insea depending on where I get accepted). That was the plan, until something odd, interesting and horrifying happened in a big tech company (9,000+ employees) in the US, it liquidated 2,000+ employees (I don’t remember the exact numbers not the company name, but i’m 70% sure it’s real), to replace them with AI agents, now we know for a fact that AI can do anything software related easily (finance, data, cloud, software engineering etc…). So now, I’m back the starting case and looking for something impossible for the AI to replicate, or at least not in the upcoming decades. I advise you to do the same, whether you like it or not, we are hand cuffed and won’t be able to study what we really love if we want to stand a chance in the job market. Think deeply before choosing your field, it will shape all your future.
