Data Science vs IoT/Networking vs Cybersecurity: Which Path Should I Choose?

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. To explain my situation:
I just finished the first year of a Data Science Master’s degree. Honestly, with all the hype we hear nowadays about AI taking over and automating entry-level Data Science jobs, I started wondering whether the path I chose is the right one or not.

Even though I studied Data Science with passion and ambition, passion will not pay the bills. So I chose to apply to other fields that are commonly seen as more AI-safe: networking, IoT, and cybersecurity.

I passed the interviews for both programs and got accepted, but I am still lost and do not know what to choose. NB: I like both fields. I am just asking whether people with or without experience could give me their POV.
