If you are extremely smart, go into AI.
You’ll make a lot of money and quickly.
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.
I work in that area - and even if you are extremely smart, it is hard. This area has rapid change, almost daily new technology updates and ecosystems. And you not only need the technical knowledge (and to keep it updated) but business knowledge.
It’s extremely hard to get in and to stay in this field. But it does pay for the time you are in (in money and time)
