If you are in a tech job, please give me an advice.
I am still a student. I am thinking to be a full stack developer. Because, all the others are a bit complex or have too much network related concepts.
Data Science- needs a lot of maths, AI ML- too. Cloud Engineer or DevOps or Cyber security- It's all technical or network related.
And all these AI stuffs have confused me on what should I do for a career. There is constant fear that it might replace me or my job.
If you are someone in tech.. then please offer some advice. I don't know if I can survive. I just want money to survive. And I am not aiming for those MNC companies like Google, Amazon etc MAANG. I just want good salary job despite BCA degree.

Thank you very much.

Hello friend, thanks for sharing! Your post resonated with me quite a bit. I'm 26 years old have been working in the tech field for about 6 years. First, I want to acknowledge that it's difficult, especially when you're still new to the field. That's completely normal! I still struggle with that a lot too. It's not easy at first, but once you start getting the hang of it, it can be very rewarding!
I know that you said you're not aiming for a company like Amazon or Google. Would you still be open to working towards getting a certification for their platforms, or are you trying to stay away from them all together? I just recently became a certified AWS Sysops Administrator and I know a lot of companies use AWS and GCP to host their applications so getting a certification can definitely help your resume and is a great learning experience! The AWS Cloud Practitioner certification is also one that's relatively easy to complete and might be a good start if you're interested.
Can I ask what interests you? I work in Fintech which means I work with banks. Here are some more ideas that you may find helpful (Some of them may overlap): education, healthcare, government, private sector, e-commerce, transportation, gaming and entertainment, "green tech"? Maybe you'd even be interesting in starting your own business!
Lastly, I'm not here to debate, but I'm personally not too worried about AI replacing all of our tech jobs in its current state. Sure, it may replace some jobs, specifically when it comes to jobs that requires 1 on 1 communication such as customer support, but these AI models are just an advanced autocomplete algorithm. They just predict what the next word (token) will be when generating its response. They're not capable of reasoning; they're just really good at generating text that emulates reasoning.
Wishing you all the best!

Thank you very much for your inputs Wheel! Means a lot to me.
Yes, I don't aim for those companies. But I am not avoiding them. I am open to getting certifications. MNCs are tough to get into. They ask DSA etc. So not focusing on them.
My interests- I like to see that my work has created a difference. So development field does relate to me. But I feel its a long route etc and requires logic. Right now I have access to full stack dev course and python course. So i am doing a little bit from both.
If development field doesn't work then i might switch to data analyst field. But I am not from commerce background, and not too knowledgeable in business related fields.
Yes, I guess I will just push away Ai's fear and focus on what to do .. Now.
Thank you once again for all the info Wheel❤️
@SoulwithGoals.. Have you thought about starting your own business? There are plenty of entrepreneurial opportunities out there." You're right to consider it, but here's the reality: you don't need to be an entrepreneur to make good money in tech, especially when your main goal is financial stability. Since you're studying BCA and considering full stack development, know that it's still valuable , even with AI, businesses need websites, apps, and tools built by humans who understand real problems. You don't need to work at Google; you can make solid money through startups, agencies, freelancing, or remote jobs. Your degree is enough, what employers really want is a portfolio with 2-3 projects: a personal app, a clone of something popular, and something for a real client. Use AI as a tool to build faster, not as competition. Learn one tech stack well (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, MongoDB), build projects and put them online, start with small freelance work, and set a realistic income target for your first job. The key is solving real problems reliably, not chasing Silicon Valley dreams.
