Anyone else find themselves needing to start over completely?

I've not really reached the stage of life where i live by myself, or even finish my school entirely but i still relate to this (¬_¬) 

I'm incredibly confused on what to do with my life. Where will i be in two years? What of all my friends? I don't want to leave all these people behind.

I'm incredibly stressed out about the next 3 years, and then uni/college too. I genuinely can't tell in which direction my life is heading and i can't even begin  to think of where to start

I absolutely love computers and all electronics, so i was planning to study CompSci or CompEng in college, and maybe get a good job at some large tech giant. But then A.I came around and now i have no idea what i'm going to do. The entirety of the CompSci field has been saturated, at least to what i know, and it's practically pointless going into them now, especially with generative AI practically about to replace normal coders, because why would big managers at companies hire people for lots of money, when you can make an AI do the work for you!?

I can't really chart out the path ahead in my life, and i feel absolutely wrecked because of it. Maybe sometime in the next how many ever years i have i will finally find something i can do. Of course, i can't really do anything but study for my exams now, but i can't help but stress out about the future.

I sometimes wish i

started over again in

A world born anew

This is something I also struggled with and even struggle with now-- finding out what to do with my life! I think if you are THAT passionate about CS you should absolutely go to school for it and pursue it. You can learn a lot of valuable things and become an asset to a company, or even form your own company/site with your knowledge! (Not saying you need to go to school to do that)

AI is a huge deal but it can only do so much. And you'll realize a lot of companies--especially smaller or newer companies--prefer to hire PEOPLE that will be valuable to their company over implementing AI, because it's new and confusing and scary to a lot of folk, and will be that way for quite a while yet.

But, while you consider pursuing your dream, think about other passions that you may have that you would be capable of/willing to turn into a career! Or even just something you know you'd be good at. Working to support your hobbies is still noble, even if you can't work doing what you love.

Who knows! Maybe you'll create a site that hundreds of thousands of people will use and love and give you donations to keep it up and running- like this one!

Good luck!
