BLUF: Will I find success in software engineering if I commit to the craft, even with the surge of AI in the market place?
[30] Mid level manager at a global biopharma company, BS in ergonomics. PMP and Lean Six Sigma experience.
Really became interested in software engineering over the last two years. Want to career switch and hope to graduate by 2030 or 2031. Know to prioritize networking, project and internship opportunities while in school. Understand that AI is a tool that is not going to wholly supplant the need for engineers, but will impact market opportunities.
Nervous to switch careers at this stage in life, take on debt after just getting debt free, and enter a turbulent marketplace being disrupted/transformed by AI.
Looking for advice or feedback.
