The best advice I have gotten when starting a new career or path is to become part of the conversation. How can I help pass this advice along?

Entering IT, I did not have a degree or background. Becoming conversational with IT, tech news, home lab projects, and nerd culture helped me learn by immersion. Fields like cybersecurity and AI require people to be immersed in information and to be connected by the culture. How can I demonstrate this to people trying to enter fields like AI, IT and cybersecurity? How can I share this idea to inspire new students/ workers or seasoned professionals? How can I apply this advice to different fields? This specific question is because I find myself often being asked "how can I get into (usually AI or cybersecurity)". As someone who is actively touching both fields but is not an expert in either, I find myself sharing news, blogposts, videos, and books on the topics. After when I try to strike up a conversation about the topic I find many of them are simply uninterested in the topics and don't want to immerse themselves into current events and breakthroughs. Many of them want a credetial and a job but are uninterested in how the field is evolving or trying to bring active change to that field. How can I inspire self learning? How can I help kids in school that are eager to grow into a field understand self motivation and self learning?

Is AI silently ending human creativity?

Artificial Intelligence is growing rapidly every year. Today, I learned artificial intelligence could create HTML code to handle the front-end part of a website; way better than I ever could writing the code myself. This compels me that AI is the end of human creativity, because it produces tasks with superb quality without having to use critical thinking or creativity. I wanted to become a software developer, but now I feel I need to change careers because AI practically took my job. What is a job in the tech industry you feel AI couldn't conquer and take place over people?

When should I say "I am familiar with"? When should I say "I am profficient at"? When can I call myself an expert or SME?

When you apply for jobs, there is usually a marker for time worked at 1-2 years, 5+ years, and 10+ years. At what point should I qualify myself as familiar, profficient, or an expert? Does having a credential help lessen the time required to be considered an expert?

I have a plethora of passions, where do I start?

I am a 26 year old unemployed (working on school) aspiring digital artist for a specific niche, I have been drawing since 2014 traditionally and picked up an iPad for art during/around the time of the pandemic of COVID-19 (20and 19-2022). My prefered drawing application is procreate and ive been drawing digitally and traditioanlly ever since. I also have a huge interest in Experimental Chemistry (I have no experience in chem at all, never got the chance since I did not immediatly go to college after high school (caused by my learning disabilities). I also have a HUGE interest in AI, and helping improve it for future generations of neurodivergent learners like me. As you can see I have a lot of passions, can I put them together, do I "need" schooling for these passions, can I learn without? (If enrolled in school I'd love to actually go to a campus to learn, but at the moment I have no transportation since I am still co-dependent on my mother and grandfather for money, but I have also been looking into online "side hustles" I could manage, since I am the only one in the house at the moment who can make an income (My mother has not worked for years and refuses to. and my grandfather has recently retired from his 60+ year job and is currently focusing the rest of his money elsewhere).

When should I get a mentor? When should I become a mentor? I am in the middle ground of having valuable skills, but I do not master everything in my professional career.

When do I become a dedicated mentee? When do I devote time to mentoring someone? When do I take experience to a team and rely on group learning and not give it a formal title? I have a nice set of skills I would love to share but I don't have a great outlet to share them. I am by no means a master of the universe and would like to expand what I do, when should I focus on that? Can I be a mentor to someone while being mentored by someone at the same time? Also how can I facilitate group learning on a team? How can I help people mentor each other?

Tbh I've gone back and fourth on this career. My confidence at one point got shattered and I had to switch schools multiple times and I think I've found a great school for me to finish my degree. I'm just scared now.

I keep hearing over and over that it is important in one's profession to have "AI skills". I understand how AI is going to change the work force in the future, but what particular AI skills are important to have?

So far I am a SME with AI computer hardware, networking and infrastructure. I have built an agent at home, used few shot tuning on a generic LLM, and did a resume builder and mock interview on it. I have a small prompt library that I keep at work and at home, slowly expanding to making skills and eventually larger tools. Is this enough to say "I have AI skills"? Is this going to become the same thing as saying "I have MS office and internet skills" in the future? Should I be focused on training, prompting, building, RAG, embeddings, ethics, coding, APIs, genAI, model tuning, agentic workflows, and certifications before I say I have AI skills? Basically which skills are desired or required in the future?

What is your take on the fact that the rise of AI could start to take the place of various hands-on careers For example, AI motion tracking could begin to replace the human element of a physical therapist; or do you feel that jobs requiring unpredictable physical work are "safe" and will never truly replicate what a human can do? ?

I'm in my Junior year in High School and I'm interested in becoming a Physical Therapist. My question is specifically about AI in general while also being interested in the Physical Therapy aspect of it. #Spring26

How can you feel like a good person while incorporating AI into your business?

I know AI is a growing tool and can be very useful in the business setting. But the environmental impact is very real and very scary. We may not think that a simple entry on Claude will affect our own water usage, but in the near future that could very well be the case. #Spring26

Will editing still be an available career by the time I get through college? How much will AI affect this career, particularly in entry level jobs, and if AI replaces entry level editing jobs, how will I enter this career path? #Spring26?

I am a high school senior about to enter college, and I've been considering editing as a career, but I'm concerned about how much AI will affect this field. Is it still worth considering and how hard will it be to get a job in this field by the time I have all the college experience needed for it?

How do I balance the use of rapidly changing AI tools in my future classroom while also protecting and developing fundamental thinking and learning skills for my students?

AI is ever evolving and continues to threaten childrens love for learning as well as the ability to think for themselves. This can destroy student's independence in learning making simple tasks harder and harder to complete on one's own.

What should I focus on from day one in college if I want to build my own tech business in AI and software?

I’m a high school senior who plans to study Artificial Intelligence Methods and Applications at Penn State. I’m interested in AI, software development, and entrepreneurship, and my long-term goal is to build my own tech business instead of only following a traditional job path. I already have some experience with coding and I’m trying to think ahead about what actually matters most once college starts. Should I focus more on internships, personal projects, networking, business knowledge, or something else? I’d really appreciate advice from people who have worked in software, AI, startups, or tech entrepreneurship and can speak honestly about what helps the most early on.
