Retail is still America’s most common job and we have hundred of thousands of Engineers graduating each year for companies that are underfunded. The companies can also pick and choose the “perfect” candidate with 4-5 interviews over 3 months because there’s too many of us.

There's no point in doing math proofs if a program already can find a solution, rather you should learn how to use that program for different designs. Nobody in engineering is doing calculations on paper, we all use programs, and yet a lot of engineering is about pen and paper proofs. -.- And what happens when company look for experienced entry level candidates? There's 200 kids from india who took classes that has projects that already taught them how to use the tool while here in USA, all our kids just pulling out pen and paper and reciting proofs. -.- Guess who they gonna hire, and at a cheaper price and with higher motivation to work longer hours too.

But then you have to be creme of that crop to get a tenure track professor position at a top university, and then creme of that crop again to become tenured. People who say things like you, don't realize it's actually insanely competitive. It's not a career track people fall into (I'm talking about tenure track professors not adjunct professors) because they couldn't do other things; that would make no sense because it's way more competitive to get than most other careers. One doesn't become a professor because they couldn't do other things, they are professors because they WANT to be researchers. I'm sorry, but you are just talking out your dunning krueger induced inferiority complex if you think that those who have overcome the insane competition to become professors aren't also smart enough to be successful in a lot of other things too. Whether professors (essentially researchers) are the right people to train students for industry careers is a fair question, but not because the professors themselves are failures to get industry jobs.

"Resistance to AI Replacement: While some aspects of accounting are susceptible to automation, the intricacies of tax planning and compliance require human judgment that is difficult for AI to replicate fully." AI in Accounting and Legal Accountability Risk and Responsibility: Companies must be cautious when implementing AI in accounting, particularly for tasks involving significant legal implications like tax filings and financial reporting. While AI can automate routine tasks, complex decision-making often requires human oversight. The need for accountability is crucial; if errors occur, especially those with legal or financial consequences, companies generally prefer to have a responsible human expert who can take accountability and rectify issues. Human Oversight: In fields requiring strict compliance and accuracy, like accounting, human professionals are essential not just for executing tasks but also for overseeing AI operations. This oversight ensures that any output from AI adheres to legal standards and industry practices. The role of accountants evolves into one where they are managing and verifying the work done by automated systems. -ChatGPT
