Feeling lost
I am an ex-medical student(25 yo). I dropped out 6 years ago and got into CS. I am currently pursuing an MSc. I was originally planning to get a PhD(in HPC) but I feel increasingly hopeless about the future after seeing another breakthrough in the field of AI everyday.
I really want to get out of this industry but I am also reluctant to get into medical school and spend another 6-7 years after having already spent 6-7 years in college. I do not know another field which would work for me. As an autistic person, CS was the best for for me, but I had lost all my hope for it due to AI.
If I go back, by the time I graduate, I will be 32! What would you do if you were me?
