I wanted to be a programmer a few years ago but I just couldn't put my head around it. Considering AI is becoming a thing I made the right call there.

All careers suck as they are designed to make you enter the rats race. Owning a business included…

Myself I started 3 or 4 times a careers and the only time I enjoyed my work it was due to the people around me.

Do whatever and try to find its positives…

I work IT and I would say: Don’t worry too much about AI. Lot of hype from boomers but is mostly bullshit.
