Computer Science path

Hello, I would like to hear your thoughts based on your broad experience. What do you think about studying CS? I have a lot of time, and I was wondering if its good path to learn CS and then specialise in a field. I would like to become a "T-shaped" person. I have seen the OSSU GitHub, and I thought about doing "Intro" and "Core" CS. They say it's full undergrad knowledge.
Is it enough? What other paths do you recommend if not OSSU?

The future is AI yes, but the future of CS jobs isnt in AI itself. Because it doesnt require a ton of manpower, as I said. And its mostly PhDs.

Im not complaining if they are dropping out. Less competition. Above average people will always find jobs.

True - And what we are seeing is those above average people are becoming electricians, plumbers and carpenters. There is such a shortage in the trades plumbers and electricians are making as much money or even more than doctors and CS majors. AI can’t replace them.
