I am about to finish my bachelor's degree in applied computer sciences and am worried about my future.
Sure, this whole process will take some time like 10 - 20 years in which I can build up some skills.
But as life in general becomes more expensive and I want to make good money (let's be honest, we all want that), I consider doing a masters degree in either
- Business Informatics/(IT-)Projectmanagement, or
- Artificial intelligence
As I am not the strongest in maths and I like the Idea of leading a Project, the first one would be my preference.
Do you have any suggestions on this? Will Project-managers also be replaced to the same extend as devs?
I think ultimately what I am looking for is "some cool tech job that gets me paid 90K but without having to being Dijkstra-smart"
Leverage what you have (Bach C.Sci) to learn things orthoganal that you don't already know.
Eg: Mineral Resources, Energy, and Farming will be important in the near and not so near future.
Rio Tinto and others are running robot fleets that move > 800 million tonnes per annumn of raw materials - there's raw processing circuits, refinement, processing concentrates to learn - a mixture of Comp Sci + mech engineering | chemistry + GIS etc.
I hear things are happening in renewable energy at a great pace, and farming has more data streams and Ag-bots than ever before.
I'd suggest getting a foot in the work force for the pragmatic exposure to new domains, then after four or five years picking up whatever further AI (or other skills) you need - keep in touch with CS as you pivot.
