Perhaps in the long run everything will be automated, but in the meantime there will be a progression of what AI can do, and software engineering might be "lower-hanging fruit" Any career with strong regulation is going to take longer to automate. Hands-on work as well. For example, there is strong regulation preventing computers from practicing driving/trucking/delivery, law, medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and certified engineering Also, build me a robot that can do the following. I'll wait: construction, woodworking, metalworking, glassblowing, painting (painting houses), electricking, plumbing, delivery, service industry, cooking.
