We've come full circle I think - I was told "get into tech, it'll be great for a future career", and I did that. It worked out for me but the field now has to contend with "Use AI or get left behind", and we're heavily oversaturated in juniors wanting to jump to senior level with a single year under their belts.
Right now I think I'd honestly say "Get into skilled labour". Human craftsmanship is going to, IMO, carry a higher and higher price. The way corporations work with engineering is to find a new (hopefully better) way to do a thing, and then to grind it down to the lowest cost possible (read: factories in China) and sell it as "quality". The guys that came to my house to check the issues with my heater and fix a clog in a pipe charged $500 for less than an hour of work. Now granted, it was 2 guys, and they had tools and expertise, and they have a year guarantee on their work; this isn't some kids who decided to unclog toilets for a living cuz it's easy. They were good.
But yeah. Stuff will always need built and fixed, and "artisan" will always come with a high price, even higher I think in future where "human built" may well be a slogan we see companies being proud to tout.
