I'm now 30 years old. Ai has pretty much made me obsolete and I need to start over. I worked in Graphic design, Video editing and social media marketing. I don't care about what the field is. I just want to get into something that will make a good Income. Im willing to learn and put in the work but I'm tired of scraping by. The money I made in media/arts wasn't great anyway. Ai just made it completely pointless. So I'm just tired of being poor and I want to get into a field that will actually uplift me financially. What do you recommend? Any of you making good money on here? Just want to be pointed in the right direction.

If you are passionate enough to be top 10 percent then AI isn't a threat it's a benefit

AI might get rid of 90% of them too though somehow I think there will be a lot of "complicated legal reasons" we can't allow that to happen

As a lawyer im very confident that this will not happen, at least not with current technology or foreseeable advances. AI is good at writing letters, filling out forms, and providing direction on how to start legal research. But it's really bad at everything else like spotting issues, articulating arguments, and not hallucinating cases. It cant be relied on, and often creates more work than it does. The legal support staff may soon be out of work though.

There is no amount of passion that will allow me to compete with automated workflows that do what it took me days/weeks to do in a matter of seconds. It's not about quality at this point. Corporations don't care as long as the material is passable and cheap. I can't make a living in this field anymore.

Someone will always be operating the AI, graphics design does sound a bit grim. If I were you I would maybe convert to a more holistic, less compartmentalized field. Like game design or video making. Computers won't ever understand what makes something good

I won't read AI doom threads. It's just another tool ffs. Indeed, it means all those farm laborers and hospitality workers can go home now.

The thing is the Ai guys aren't making alot of money either. They literally just ruined the industry by trying to out price skilled artists and ended up squeezing us out just to get even less than what we were getting before. So learning ai won't help me. It will just force me to use a system I hate just to make less. Anyways I'm done talking about that. I want to hear about different options. I'm ready to walk away from this I to something new.

You sound pretty smart and you have principles. AI can't do that. If you just want something to pay the bills you know the drill: sales, trades, driving, military, corporate, barkeep/waitstaff

Haven't you ever wanted to take full command of your craft instead of selling it out piece wise?

construction. My bestfriend was a 3D artist. In the dawn of 2021, in those pandemic microsoft team meeting he started to feel frustration. He quitted his job and started doing nothing for a couple of months, out of the blue he started home renovation. He feel useful to people for once. In 3D animation you're only meaningful for shareholder. He does construction painting and many other craft and he take ongract there and there. He make a bit more than what he did as an artist after 4-5 years. There's still a craft to it.

i'm in the same boat unfortunately. the only difference is that i'm 20 and started studying GD last year. i'm keeping GD as my major bc it's too late to change and at least i'll have a diploma. for now i'm just working as a part timer in a low administrative position at a law firm. i don't have any advice (actually i was about to make a very similar thread, and i'm pretty sure you'd know anything better than me since you have more life experience) other than looking for administrative jobs that don't require any education for now so you don't end up as a neet. AI CAN and probably WILL 100% replace graphic designers and artists in just a few years. picrel is AI generated (i generated it when i was messing with microsoft's AI). i thought about going for web design but no, literally chatgpt can make a fully functional website in seconds. i also thought about getting into coding but chatgpt can code in a lot of programming languages, and that's chatgpt alone, pretty sure there are other AIs that can do it better. maybe psychology? tho i'm pretty sure it'll become an area with A LOT of competition in the next few years, and by studying psychology you can become a therapist or an HR manager, but they're both jobs that revolve around you dealing with people, one you need to hear ppl complaining about shit all day, the other you have to enforce a lot of corporate circlejerk to your coworkers like diversity hires
idk what to tell you i'm just gonna keep reading this thread bc the advice may be useful to me too

AI is going to mostly replace legal secretaries and paralegals within the next few years as well. If you have any interest in staying in the legal profession, you should really think about taking the LSAT and going to law school after you finish your GD degree.

That’s irrelevant. As long as the higher ups think they can profit, they will continue to do so regardless of how it looks.

actually idk if i want/can go to law school, they're not that expensive where i live BUT they're far more expensive than GD school. maybe i'll do that. i was also thinking about a few other sciences but yea, law school is probably the safest one.

So you only care about getting money from the higher ups, you are hardly better than them who only care about getting money from the public and paying their people as little as possible
You just want to suckle at their teet

its worked out very well for me, I recommend it if you have the interest. Very solid and well paying career prospects, and not vulnerable to AI.

Every technological advance in history has produced more jobs than it eliminated. There isn't much call for blacksmiths these days, but millions work in the automobile industry
