I get what you're saying but I wouldn't consider it speculation to discount the value of a English and Philosophy degree as many news sources are already using AI to write articles, I'm not saying the quality of them is good but it probably will be soon enough. I think speculation is kind of necessary and even if I get it wrong my other options would have been equally worthless.

But yeah, no one knows. It's a very uncertain world.

That is what i'm thinking, people are always going to need medical and mental support and at least for the foreseeable future, they're not going to want a GP or psychiatrist who is an AI, not that that is even possible yet.

The whole military thing for me is a no though. I'm UK based, not American and although I recognise the need for military forces they are generally wielded to create more suffering in the name of greed and I'd rather try to dedicate my life to helping people (as long as I'm not destitute myself lol). I do understand there are roles within the military that are not directly shooting people etc. but I just wouldn't want to uphold a system that I perceive to have so many flaws, but I guess by paying taxes (not that I do that yet as I'm a student currently) I'll be upholding that system either way.
