Reply to comment by Ihateseatbelts in Is going to collage even worth it if AI is going to replace us anyways? by [deleted]

I like this response. I’m currently in uni for an animation degree as well. Even though most people would probably think it stupid, especially with how tech has been progressing recently. I’d rather push myself towards something I enjoy though, instead of just pursuing a degree that I don’t even enjoy just because it’s what makes the most money or that it’s the least likely to get automated soon.

Real talk! Pursuit of money (at any point, but especially at this one in history) just feels like a race to the bottom. We have to focus on being ourselves and doing right by others - switching lanes to make a couple extra quid for five years just won't cut it. But I'm just a talking avatar, so who knows? All the best on your journey, squire!

Don’t do animation, do computer science. You take a class on graphics rendering if you love art so much. Do be afraid to get to close to the sun, that’s what college is for. If you think you don’t have the aptitude for computer science, I think you are underestimating yourself and how long the journey ahead really is. Please PM me or reply to discuss further, but please don’t waste university years on an animation degree when it’s so hard that you might as well do computer science.

Omfg I’m fueming, don’t go to university for ANIMATION. DO COMPUTER SCIENCE. DO COMPUTER SCIENCE. DO COMPUTER SCIENCE. Do you know what it’s like being poor? It’s very stressful.
