My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Sep 24, 2028 · 729 days left

AI and autonomous agents already handle alert triage, security monitoring, and routine high-volume penetration testing, the usual entry points for new hires, so these jobs shrink first. Regulations requiring CISOs and ISMS-P officers, along with a rise in AI-driven attacks, prop up demand, so the pressure arrives slightly later than for general junior developers.

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.
