[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poster with a poli sci undergrad and then a top MBA. I now work for a Fortune 500 known for good work life balance.

I make enough to be in the top 10% of the population in household income, but never really have much to do after work at this stage of my career, and have not for the past 10-15 years.

I have told my similarly math-oriented kid in college now to major in business with a finance or accounting focus, or data science/analytics. [b]Contrary to some popular theories, AI is not taking these jobs[/b] and in fact it’s really going to be a tool that people in these jobs will use in the future.

I think it will be easy to be a Director/sr director/VP level in many companies, large and small, with this kind of background undergrad. [/quote]

What makes you say this? Everyone I know in these fields is convinced that AI is going to change everything . [/quote]
NP but it’s honestly shocking how easily the public is convinced by tech bros with overvalued companies. AI is a readjustment, but the whole “taking all the jobs” bit is so some douchey 20 year old who just graduated Stanford can get investors to send him an obscene amount of money for a company that Open Ai and inevitably Google will buy. It’s jarring because in the tech space currently the discussion is Open Ai needing to eventually collapse, but somehow that isn’t reaching most employees yet.[/quote]
