Many individuals are losing their jobs due to the increasing use of AI, as large organizations continue to automate roles in the name of productivity and cost efficiency. These companies often justify layoffs by claiming they are necessary to streamline operations and reduce expenses, but the human impact is often overlooked. The affected employees are not just numbers — they are people with families, aspirations, and contributions that go beyond mere output. Despite this growing trend, there seems to be no strong or unified community pushing back against corporations that aggressively replace humans with machines. There are no significant boycotts or movements calling for accountability or ethical boundaries in how AI is implemented. It raises the question — why is there so little resistance when livelihoods are being sacrificed in the name of technological progress? While innovation is essential, it should not come at the cost of human dignity and widespread job insecurity. As AI continues to evolve, there is a pressing need for society to create balanced systems that prioritize both advancement and human welfare. Without collective action or dialogue, we risk allowing powerful entities to reshape the workforce without any regard for its long-term social consequences.
How do I go about deciding my major?
I'm currently a high school senior who is taking dual enrollment. I have already completed 62 credit hours towards my business management major, but have been considering switching out to nursing/engineering mainly for pay and job security. How should I go about this decision? Is it worth it sticking with business? Is it worth it doing nursing/engineering for the pay and job security? Growing up, I've always had an interest in business and entrepreneurship, but the amount of people I've heard having a hard time finding a job concerns me since the degree is so broad. So I've been considering nursing (because of the fact that I'll get to talk to people and won't be at a desk all day, and i'll be able to help people in some type of way) or engineering (I'm good at math and I've heard that engineering degrees can look appealing and can be a way to let employers know about your technical skills or critical thinking abilities due to what you studied)
