I -would not- recommend Control Systems Engineer. Despite how unlikely it is to be taken over with AI and the low training curve to shift from general computer sciences to this, you deal more with other people than the machines that run the place. Racing against time to resolve a failure in the system is not fun.

so uh… the entire American tech industry has shit itself and there are no longer any tech jobs at all, whatsoever. could anyone recommend a new career path for me? I am:

• very technically minded
• very fast at learning things on my own - especially if I can tinker/experiment with them (or a simulation of them) to gain an intuition
• extremely good with computers, programming, etc.
• cripplingly socially anxious, so ideally it should involve as little interaction with people as possible
• very anxious in general so it shouldn’t be a stressful job, ideally
• on a truly disgusting sleep schedule. I’d love if I could do shift work instead of having to wake up at 8am
• looking for a job that has a lot of demand for workers, so it’s easy to get hired. I’ve been trying to get a tech job for years but nobody likes me
• okay with going through a training program for up to a year, but no longer than a year

I’d really love to hear about any options that y’all know about

like I'm sorry to anyone that thinks I lack empathy because I have none for Charlie Kirk, but the world just got a little bit less dark for me, because one of the people calling for my eradication is no longer on this mortal plane.
