Future Career For Kids
Software Engineer, Doctor, Investment Banker, or YouTuber — What’s Actually the Best Bet for Kids Today?
Dear Parents,
With AI reshaping tech jobs, content creation becoming a real (if risky) career, and traditional paths like medicine and finance still seen as “safe” — I’m genuinely torn on how to guide my kids.
Curious what this community thinks, factoring in:
**• Job security** (especially with AI eating into entry-level coding jobs)
**• Cost of living vs. income** in India/Bhubaneswar specifically
**• Time to ROI** (a doctor trains for a decade+, a YouTuber could blow up in year 2 — or never)
**• Work-life balance** long term
Would love to hear from parents who’ve actually thought this through, or people in these fields who’d choose differently if they started over. What would you push your kid toward?
