Ask HN: What to tell a young person interested in finance with AI anxiety

2 points| wnc3141 | 9 days ago

There's a person in my community beginning college next year and they have a level of AI oriented dread about whether they should stay the course and pursue a finance degree or just pursue a physical trade. What would you say to this type of kid?

To kick this off, I responded by saying that trying to predict the future is a fool's errand, and that he'd just do the best doing something he can be good at and then respond to the world as it changes. However the anxiety over student debt did seem valid considering the recent crop of undergrads are still struggling to land professional jobs.
