Another School Flyer in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

My school recently posted a fundraiser, except this time they completely AI generated the poster and advertising for it. Funnily enough literally only 1 person has donated so far and they've made 1% of what they did last year

I think cyber security would be fascinating to study and networking would be good. I just hoped my experience with development wouldn't be useless towards getting employed in those fields, but I feel like it would be.

Thanks for your advice

How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? (programming.dev)
 

I'm a senior in high school right now and definitely need to consider what I'm going to do in college and for work.

For a very long time I've been into computers, and am a developer with a few big projects under my belt (this is a burner account for privacy). So, my logical choice for a while was to become a software developer professionally.

Nowadays that plan doesn't look too promising. AI has basically replaced junior developers (with dubious results) and the competition has gotten much fiercer. I'm not even in college yet so I have a good amount of time to potentially pivot to something else before choosing a major.

I've got quite a bit of experience with Linux and I manage a home server, but that probably doesn't differentiate me much. I'm honestly interested in most things computer related, but don't know of any specific fields to seek out. If it's so hard for fresh CS graduates to get jobs, why would any other option be different?
