Pursue AI-Resistant or AI-Enhanced Fields Amidst Automation Concerns

The individual's concern about AI is valid, but the 'better opportunity' lies in strategically choosing fields that are either resilient to automation or enhanced by AI. Education remains valuable for fostering critical thinking, adaptability, and specialized knowledge – skills AI struggles to replicate. Focus on professions requiring high emotional intelligence, creativity, complex human interaction (e.g., healthcare, teaching, therapy), advanced problem-solving (e.g., scientific research, engineering), or skilled hands-on work (e.g., trades like electrician/welder). Alternatively, pursue roles that involve developing, managing, or strategically using AI (e.g., prompt engineer, AI ethicist). The goal is to become 'a person using AI' rather than being replaced by it, making education an investment in future-proof skills.
