It’s high time that students should start thinking about alternate career options instead of blindly chasing IT jobs. First, you’re told to learn: HTML, CSS, Java, JavaScript, Python, C, C++, SQL, React, Angular, Vue, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Then comes the mandatory grind: DSA, LeetCode, CodeChef, Codeforces, System Design, OOPs, OS, DBMS, Computer Networks. Then tools & cloud pressure: Git, GitHub, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, CI/CD, Jenkins, Terraform. Then frameworks & buzzwords: Next.js, Spring Boot, Django, Microservices, REST API, GraphQL, WebSockets. And now the new wave: AI, ML, Deep Learning, GenAI, ChatGPT, LLMs, Prompt Engineering, LangChain, Vector Databases. After all this… You might get a job. But there’s no guarantee you’ll survive in the long run. AI is evolving faster than most people can upskill. Tech stacks change. Roles disappear. Expectations keep increasing. IT is no longer a “safe” career. It’s a constant race with uncertainty. This isn’t fear-mongering...it’s reality. Students should seriously explore alternate paths where AI supports you, not replaces you. Think long-term. Don’t just follow the crowd.
