If one of my children came to me tomorrow and said they wanted a career in finance, I’d be delighted. That’s not because finance pays well. It’s because I thin…

Right, because finance is the only way to learn how the world works? Get outta here with that nonsense. Plenty of other jobs teach you about real life.
honestly finance is still solid. AI can't replace the networking and dealing with actual people. the industry adapts, it's not dying.
yeah nah this is just rich people trying to justify their jobs. 'learn how the world works' mate you learn how to move numbers around while the rest of us actually do stuff
telling yourself that while the spreadsheet does all the work. Cope harder 😂
As someone who works in finance, I've seen AI change a lot but we're still miles away from replacing critical thinking and negotiation. The article has a point.
Lol 'valuable career lessons' = learning to exploit people better. Thanks but no thanks.

Exactly! Trades are just as valuable. Not everyone needs to be in an office shuffling paper.
My kid wanted to be a mechanic and I was chuffed. Good money, always work. Finance is just gambling with extra steps.
Amen. Trades are the backbone. Finance just makes the world go 'round in circles for the rich.
I work in fintech and honestly the hype around AI in finance is overblown. The real value is still understanding risk and people. This article is spot on.
least someone gets it. People here are salty they didn't get into finance. It's not all bad.
Tbh I'm studying finance right now and this gives me hope 😅 Feels like everyone keeps saying AI will take our jobs, but maybe there's still room for us?
for you, but don't buy into the hype too much. Keep your options open, the industry is shifting fast.
