Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
Western Europe, journalism & computer science. Exactly those fields that are collapsing because of AI. As said I only work as a service rep in an entry-level role for 10 years. I've sent out thousands of resumes in that decade and only got a few appointments, and never any actual offers. It's also a bit late for me to retrain (again) and I have no aptitude for working with my hands. It's not beneath me or anything, I'm just the opposite of handy.
I don't reside there and I don't have time to have a proper squizz.. but perhaps looking through https://eures.europa.eu/how-find-and-train-jobs-are-demand-2025-04-17_en for some direction for your children?
I'm also not in tech.. but my understanding is that AI will take a component of work but definitely still requires a large IT workforce for the digitalization of ..well, everything.
