My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Sep 24, 2031 · 1824 days left

AI is set to take over entry-level tasks like drafting assessment reports and permit documents and running design calculations, so hiring at environmental consulting and assessment agencies may shrink first. Field sampling, on-site diagnosis of treatment plants, and rules requiring firms to appoint environmental technicians and register qualified staff hold hiring up, though a degree alone does not guarantee the Environmental Engineer certification.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
