My Major Lifespan

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

In urban planning, traffic impact assessment, and GIS consulting, entry-level work is writing reports, drawings, and maps, so AI drafts replace it first. Public procurement and prequalification (PQ) staffing standards only delay this by a year or two. The construction and real estate slump and public-sector headcount cuts are 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.
