25, just graduated in something unrelated — how do I get in on AI before it's too late?
I'm 25 years old, i graduated college and everything. Ive recently realized how huge ai will get really soon and im aware that there will be tons of people creating ai and tech companies trying to innovate. now the issue is, no one warned people that ai would be a thing, and so people who went the "AI route" or tech route in school got lucky in a way. Had i known AI would be this big, i wouldve went to school for it and snatched one of those high paying job.
Now my question is, as a 25 yo who just graduated college and started a career in something tottally unrelated. If i want in, into this AI world in a way that has the best chances of being lucrative for me, now or in the future, what is my best bet? Should i think about going back to school? if so what type of program? or should i just focus on learning AI and API and start a business and join all the competition in the gold rush? Basically, what im asking is, how can i get into this AI world, and make a lot of money, based on my current situation. I feel like at 25 im a little old, but i wont get any younger so if i want to do something about this, it has to be now.
I don't want it to seem like its all about money, because it's not. I just want to be into something where i will feel like i have a purpose. Create something, or work with people who are creating new.
I'm an architect technologist right now (first 3 months), and it's not the most fulfilling job, In terms of money or in terms of purpose but AI is something that, had it been a thing when i started college, i would've definitely gotten into.
Thanks in advance for the answers 😄
