My Major Lifespan

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

AI already handles the bilingual email, paperwork and translation at German-owned plants, so entry-level hiring in office and overseas sales roles shrinks first. Face-to-face negotiation on business trips and a small teaching path hold up part of the demand. The closing of college German departments 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.
