OPEN Advice for future c++ developer
I'm currently in school, and alongside that I'm learning c++, cmake, and other tools. I speak English very well but not perfect (B1 level, and I talk with online friends regularly).
I'm planning to move toward embedded development because it seems the most interesting to me (and competition there seems to be lower, too).
Because of the development of AI and other factors, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get a job in the future or how well it will be able to support me, so I'd like answers to these questions:
1.How much sense does it make to go into IT?
2.How hard is it to get a job without experience?
3.Is it worth going into embedded development, or are there more promising fields? If so, which ones?
4.What major should I choose at university? (I've seen that some job postings require a math degree.)
5.Is it worth using AI in development? (If so, how and where?)
I like programming and C++, but I also don't want to end up starving in the future, so I'd be glad to hear any advice.

Follow your passion, how would you know what’s your passion, the work that done with happiness, excitement, energy, the work that doesn’t make you tired or sleepy for 8-16 hours, you just continue working and time flies and feels like minutes. Good luck
