Trust me AI is at least 10-15 years away from automating away work. I use AI algos at my workplace. Economics is usually more theoretical and hard to find work in. Finance is a good career path, a lot of the stuff AI can’t do such has helping with very business specific decision making and querying.

I think the issue is less all work being automated away and more that it will increase efficiency so that less jobs are needed and a large people become unemployed. Even without AI before the pandemic my country had more people seeking jobs than jobs that actually existed.

This.
I don't understand how so many people are failing to see this point.
The efficiency increase is how AI will initially take real jobs.
Less and less humans will be needed over time.
It will happen this year; it's happening right now.

Businesses already put some of their projected "labour cost reductions" into their annual investor calls.
