Can vouch, everyone told me growing up that computer jobs were a safe and stable choice because "everyone needs computers."
That may be true with IT departments but maybe not as necessarily for developers
IT support by staff like sysadmins can hardly be replaced in the near future.
I don't see AI being able to setup a whole environment itself.
Creative jobs on the other hand...
That's what cloud services are for.
And who sets up those? If sysadmin jobs are killed for on premise at companies at the very least they will be needed for datacenter work.
