Business/finance degree is cooked

Transcript

Business/finance degree is cooked. And if you're in college or a business major in college, you might want to listen to this because you might be cooked too. For context, I'm a third year in college wrapping up my junior year. I have one year left and this summer we're interning at the biggest firm in all of America. I have a great GPA, tons of experience under my belt, but for whatever reason, because I'm majoring in finance and of course with AI blowing up as it is, I do still feel in the back of my head a little bit unsure of my future. And I'm curious because I want to hop on this app and see if y'all were thinking the same for me, especially those who are business majors, even finance, accounting majors, yada yada. I mean, seriously, AI has been booming over the last five years and people are saying the next five years all finance majors will be practically useless. And even though I have tons of great experience and I've done my due diligence and interned at several companies, there's still a part of me in the back of my head that thinks I might still end up jobless. And I'm curious where I stand of my audience. I know a majority of the audience is people just like me, finance majors, business majors, people in college right now. So if you fit that category, please tell me in the comments, how do you feel about AI and do you feel like one day it might take your job and you might end up jobless? Or am I just overthinking it, overreacting and we're all going to be fine?
