My Major Lifespan

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

Generative AI has already started taking the first paid gigs graduates land, like arranging, background-music composing and recording-session work. But in-person lessons and live performance, a big part of how graduates make a living, shrink more slowly. The long-standing scarcity of full-time orchestra jobs 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.
