[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in IT consulting by way of a BS in engineering and I consider myself low-risk. I chose what was at the time the highest paid 4 year degree and I chose to work for a large, well respected company straight out of undergrad. What majors and industries are “hot” changes each decade, but working for a large company where your career path is a bit cookie-cutter, albeit well paying, the first 3-5 years is pretty safe and stable.

A lot of people are saying Accounting, but my company is constantly using automation and AI to reduce the number of “in house” and administrative employees we need - especially Accounting, Finance, and HR.

It comes with med school debt, but the best salary to work hours/lifestyle ratio of anyone I know is my friend who is an anesthesiologist at a free standing surgery center in a low cost of living area of the Midwest. [/quote]

Is accounting one of the professions most threatened by AI? What about actuarial jobs?[/quote]

If you are bright and capable enough to be in the top 10% of workers, AI is not a real threat. You'll just oversee the AI functions while signing off the deliverables. AI is going to hit the pink collar jobs, not so much the VPs and senior manager levels. [/quote]
