I’m an engineer with an undergraduate and a graduate degree, and while I think STEM degrees are the best route for those who can and want to proceed in this direction, outside of that, the trades are far superior to any other university degrees. Also, I work with AI and there is no doubt AI is going to take a chunk out of white collar jobs, including STEM jobs, but AI can’t touch anything where you need to be on sight and use your hands. Electricians, plumbings, mechanics, and other such trades are going to be a great place to be moving forward.

@CraigPerry I’m in that space and while it’s still very good, AI is going to replace a lot of the heavy lifting for programming and therefore a lot of programmers. Those going to school now will never see the day where a programmer can start to back away from full-time work at 35. Those days are coming to a close.
