what carreer path should i follow:

>welder(subaquatic or industrial welding or industrial engineer in the future)
>construction management (civil engineer in future)
>or computer science (cybersecurity ahead)

consider that im in europe and i actually receive money to make these courses, and they all last 1 year. the cs course is interesting because its in my city, however i fear every job that works with software will one day be replaced by ai. im more inclined to welding, but i wanna hear a second opinion here.
>>
>>34895534
Whichever one that won't get replaced by Ai and has the highest wages.
>>
>>34895543
>and has the highest wages.
wage information are conflicting. this is why i made this thread.
>>
>>34895534
welding, there is high paying more skilled options and indoor options
>>
>>34895668
ok, but does this pay more than a civil engineer or cybersecurity expert? and what if i want to progress academically
>>
>>34895760
Underwater welding most likely, I would look into the job opening on those other ones, I feel like you will absolutely need decent connections to get them. I'm not from Europe, so I don't about the job situation over there. You could possibly be going through all that schooling just to not be able to get any of the positions.
>>
>>34895791
>I feel like you will absolutely need decent connections to get them.
I do have that in welding
>>
>>34896489
>Best job security of the bunch.
Why? Civil engineering doesn't have security?
>>
>>34896489
>Best job security of the bunch

people hype up underwater welding as if it isn't one of the most dangerous things you could be doing on the regular. You can't even do it for that long / ur entire career or something

WATCH INTERVIEWS WITH THESE DUDES FIRST OP

But to a young guy like OP , if you have the balls for it , it definitely is really good money
>>
>>34895534
obviously the latter two are high paying, and the first is either low paying or pretty dangerous, I don't know how trades pay in europe. You'd be taken care of if you moved to Australia. I'll give cons for the next two also.
>cybersecurity
tech fields getting eaten up by ongoing indian exodus (30m current) covering the western world.
>1 year course might not be enough to qualify for anything.
>construction management
would require proper social skills

Good luck to you anon. Remember, anything done properly is better than a year spent doing nothing or working deadend with no studies.
>>
>>34895534
>consider that im in europe
Welding would be most useful in the upcoming wars. Any other profession and you will be cannon fodder.
>>
welding is taxing on your health especially if you become one of those oilrig/pipe underwater welders

do whatever you enjoy, if you are good at what you are doing, youll always find employment and financial security
unless you want to get rich, then i cant help you because idgaf about that
>>
>>34895534
welding is the most "stable" but it's a pretty physically demanding job and you'll probably have health problems in a few decades. the pay isn't great if you aren't a subaquatic welder.

if i were you i'd go for civil engineering, it's fairly stable, pays decently well in the private sector and is (in my opinion) interesting. if you're semi decent at networking you'll find a job no problem.

>>34896489
shortest lifespan of them all too. good luck OP. wear thick clothes so you arent doused in UV daily (essentially a daily tanning bed) and DONT breathe the smoke thats constantly going in your face

t. ex welder
>>
>>34896687
>WATCH INTERVIEWS WITH THESE DUDES FIRST OP
ok that sounds like a nice idea
>>
>>34896918
>pretty dangerous
its this
>tech fields getting eaten up by ongoing indian exodus (30m current) covering the western world.
ascension of the right wing might put a stop to this, although they are a bit cucked. i think AI is the bigger problem in the long run
>would require proper social skills
doesnt sound that bad, if i have to deal with actually developed humans and not your average retail customer like in my previous job its fine.
>>
>>34898177
>Welding would be most useful in the upcoming wars.
i actually thought about this, although my country would probably be neutral and not attacked, just used as a nato base.
>>
>>34898184
>then i cant help you because idgaf about that
based. i just want to be financially indepedent and help my family and friends. also have a stable carreer with "normal" hours of work, because i worked at mcdonalds before and had trash shifts/hours and every restaurant work is like this. also a manly job(except cibersecurity) and actually feel im doing something productive to society.
>>
>>34898264
>have health problems in a few decades
even if you use all protection equipament?
>if you're semi decent at networking you'll find a job no problem.
that wouldnt be hard
>>
>>34899880
>wear thick clothes so you arent doused in UV daily (essentially a daily tanning bed) and DONT breathe the smoke thats constantly going in your face
from images and what my contact who is in welding says, they use thick clothes and those metal masks that have a visor
>t. ex welder
do you have any specific health problems from this
>>
so, there has also been new trades that i can learn that interested me:

>eletric instalations(eletric engineer in future(?))
>car mechanic
>eletric and hybrid car mechanic
>industrial automation and robotics
>aeronautic constrution and repair
>install and repair of air conditioning and refrigerating systems

this is all sounds really good, what do you guys think?
>>
>>34900400
occasional pre cancer areas on my skin i have to get removed, one at 25 and one at 30. i got out of welding at 22. ymmv
>>
>>34895534
there's a big difference between an industrial welder and an industrial engineer
>>
>>34902713
Shut up
>>
>>34902556
holy fuck. but this is normal for the area or you failed work security? like not used correct equip etc..
>>
>>34902713
industrial engineer is the college progression i can take from being a welder and having the course
