I’m an electrician and have been for 10 years. You work in the cold. In
the heat. On ladders. On roofs. In the mud. In the snow. You poop in
porta potties. It’s entirely possible that your job Will literally kill
or maim you. There is no microwave. No fridge. No break room.
Sure we
make good money but you have to consider the work conditions. IT
professionals will always be needed, the scope of work may change with
AI sure but I think you’re being a little pessimistic.
Only if you are fanatically passionate about IT. There's a lot of change and there will be a lot more change as AI comes into play. If you're looking to make REAL money with a job that will not easily replaced by AI go look into Plumbing, Electrician, or other trades.
Plumbers make more than most IT people at this point and no their job isn't simple, but each install and repair contains unique challenges which will be difficult for AI to solve since it won't have many or any data points to pull from in the past.
Electrician is a good job, cleaner than plumbing, but a slightly more competitive field.
The IT industry is oversaturated with boot camp graduates, the "self
taught" and overall mediocrity. There is still plenty of room to succeed
if you have the appropriate degree. If you're looking to get into
anything in IT then you should consider degrees in computer science,
computer engineering or electrical engineering. These degrees coupled
with an internship at a respectable firm and solid industry references
will help you succeed and differentiate you from the mediocre hoard.
