Is starting a tech career safe ?
Hello I recently started to learn python in 2026 but I have constantly this fear of wasting my time . Ai is changing the tech industry. I want to build some cool projects but is it worth it , I mean for the future? Will I get more opportunities? I would like you to share your unbias opinion please. I don't know what to choose between a preferred area and a safe area. Im really lost .I love ai, automation ,llms and learning things about ai , that's what motivated into learning python. For more context I have a background with nocode tools and vibecoding, built some saas and a mobile app.

All careers have ups and downs at times.
If you think it is an easy was to get a well paid job, then you may well be disappointed.
If you just really love the field (which it may be too early to say), and you are determined to build a career in this area, then give it a go and see where you get to.
You never know if you don't try, and none of us know how strong a potential employee you might be without a lot more context.
I wouldn't expect an easy ride at the moment, however, and you may need to be prepared to work hard, work your way into your preferred area and keep adapting to changing work practices and technology.
