Anxiety over AI impact on CS career prospects
🧭 workpersonal problemSingle report ●●●●●
A second-year computer science student reports experiencing significant anxiety and loss of motivation regarding their future career prospects due to the rapid advancement of LLMs, which they feel devalues their past projects and makes the job market outlook appear bleak.
What people do today
- Seeking reassurance from peers
- Reading online forums
- Relying on the prestige of their university
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A mentorship platform connecting CS students with industry veterans to discuss long-term career adaptation
- A curriculum-supplementing workshop series focused on human-centric skills that AI cannot easily replicate
- A peer support group or community forum specifically for students to process career-related anxiety in tech
