I jumped from computer programming to the trade before I retired.
If you have half a brain, it’s great work, and pays well.
trades.
If you are extremely smart, go into AI.
You’ll make a lot of money and quickly.
good advice.
i believe that God will continue to provide for his own, irregardless of what the world thinks, and part of that is the ability to earn their ‘daily bread’ through honest work with their hands.
AI can’t replace the trades....
This article is wrong on a dozen fronts.
Yeah it can. Soon.

As an amateur, I found welding fun!
👍👍🙂
I can still be a pimp, right?
Next thing you know, there will be an AI union and the AIs will be picketing and going on strike.

“Even the worst day of building stuff is better than any day in front of a computer screen.”
(With apologies to the fishermen what formulated that meme)

You better hope so! You don’t have a lot of alternatives. LOL
Plumbing. Learn plumbing. Plumbers can make up to $200 and hour, depending on experience.
Be a machinist and you’ll never be without a job anywhere on the planet. Keep reaching within that realm of expertise and get into CNC programming, Solid Modeling, Tooling design, etc and test your innovative mechanical skills to the limit. You’ll always work inside, never out in the elements. **Inside Tip: Stick with CNC milling machines and stay away from CNC Lathes and stick with aerospace manufacturing. You’ll make quite a bit more money. Learn to be a good programmer and you’re looking at $120K+ and if you’re contract multi-axis programmer you’re looking at $200K+ pretty easy.
It doesn’t have to be a trade, like plumbing and electrical. Accounting is also a trade, so there are paperwoek oriented trades.
Actually they are finding they overhired for AI and they are now downsizing. But the future still may be ok...not sure. Once we get AGI...those positions will be sparse as well.
Zuckerberg. Google, Microsoft, Open AI even xAI etc are still paying vast sums for the top AI talent.
