Ive been really worrying about my future career wise the last month+ because of chatGPT and the incoming AI wave of innovation. The issue I have is, what’s the obvious choice for a career pivot? Do I switch to something like nursing where physical labor is involved? Do I get into networking and deal with setting up physical servers?
