My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Mar 24, 2028 · 545 days left

Translation and interpreting commissions have already fallen because of AI, and jobs at German companies are also office and sales roles where AI handles foreign-language paperwork and email, so entry-level hiring shrinks first. Face-to-face work such as negotiating on business trips remains.

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.
