I would always suggest joining the IBEW and becoming an electrician. You can start with no experience and get trained up over a few years for a career that will pay at or near 6 figures.

All while providing health insurance and retirement.

I wish. She is leaving anyway so maybe a future partner will come with more kids.

I’m not undoing my vasectomy at this point.

2 critters, would have had more but the wife was done, and now I am neutered.

The greater good!

Not totally, but if they ask for an answer or ask AI to do something for them so they dont have to think im suspect.

I think AI can be useful, I use it to help me edit and proof my writing, but I specifically wont let it rewrite my words. I will let it make suggestions for clarity and grammar but thats the limit.

I will use AI to generate a meme level image, but im not going to use it for a presentation or as part of something that would have been a paid element.

I have played with using it to help me prototype some software, but I still read all the code, and I still take the time to understand what its writing.

AI replacing your own thoughts is bad, AI helping you refine and extend your thoughts is mostly ok.
