Guys, I would like your advice on something pretty insteresting.

My brother wants to change to a new profession. He's been a system analyst for 15 years but he forecasts (and me too, tbh) that this area will change and be reasonable reduced in the next 5-10 years.

He wants to go back to college and do medicine to become a doctor in 6 years. There's a good advantage because, since he will be a middle-aged white doctor, he will be trusted and sought by everyone (no DEI).

Is it a good idea?

Unless you're in a special niche (e.g. fringe/experimental cancer treatment), the whole profession is gonna get rolled by AI because it's all very mechanical, you cross-reference symptoms to what the diagnostic books say and you proscribe the drug that is The Accepted Thing for these symptoms. You're not supposed to be smart, because being smart risks being second-guessed in a malpractice suit. Therefore you're far better off being an electrician.

That's a good point, despite eletrictian nowadays do well in having the liability insurance as well. I think no one that serves the public in general should skip it.

He has thought about orthopedics, foresinc pathology and maybe cardiology, because the demand for those will very unlikely be replaced by AI - on the contrary, I also think AI will augment his skills

Plus, in a scenario where the economic crash is very bad, being a physican is alwasys very valuable - also in other countries.

AI isn't going to come for plumber or electrician jobs because they're physical enough that you'd need an entire humanoid robot to do the work, and then that's just a hell of a lot of R&D to even have something that can walk, carry tools, and climb a ladder...

A doctor that sits behind a desk and hands out prescriptions is astonishingly similar to a chat bot, which is why IMO they're the most at risk.
