My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates
Sep 24, 2029 · 1094 days left

Generative AI has already begun taking the first paid work graduates get, such as arranging, background-music composition and recording-session playing. But in-person lessons and live performance, a large share of graduates' income, shrink more slowly. Falling lesson demand caused by the shrinking school-age population is separate from AI.

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.
