I wouldn’t say trades are king, just that they’re more in demand than some of the more popular degrees in recent years, like CS.
An engineering or technology degree in a trades-adjacent field could be really beneficial, especially for someone how already has relevant hands-on experience. Something like controls, building automation, etc, might be a really good option for OP to build on what they already know



I was initially impressed when ChatGPT and Midjourney came out and I was playing around with them. But the novelty quickly wore off, and as I learned more about the flaws in how they operate and the negative environmental effects, the more I came to dislike it. Now, I actively hate and avoid AI.
