Anonymous05/14/26, 08:49No.34530875Should I change my career path?
Programing is getting weird with all AI stuff and emerging of "volume over quality" trend and I start to dislike it, specifically the people that surround it. At the same time I know a boomer who could take me under his wing, teach me auto mechanics in all around, and give me a job at his garage.
Should I take my chance and change my career path? I'm almost 25, btw.
(Salaries for IT workers and auto mechanics are roughly the same in my country)

>in my country
we don't know! this is an English language forum where we understand and talk about situations in the US and Canada. we have no idea what things are like in whatever country you're from, we have no intuition as to whether there's actually upward mobility there, etc. there might be one or two other posters from Slovenia or whatever occasionally but most people here will not have the first idea what to advise

Can’t you just do both?
Do the mechanics stuff.
And use your programming knowledge to make websites, automate stuff like social media, etc.

yes you should, because ai means the collapse of worthless white collar workers who do jack shit all day. but you will continue to find "volume over quality" everywhere you go, because volume brings shareholder value, and quality does not.

programming will still have use as AI obviously needs someone to program it (and also to police it). computer science is not just programming. i would get the degree anyway and even if you dont like it having a degree itself will open doors
