This job holds up well against AI

How to aim for this career
1
Get your hands on the real thing
The protection here is physical: real tools, real materials, real places. Work experience, apprenticeships and hands-on subjects build the skill AI cannot reach from a screen.
2
Learn where AI genuinely helps
Use AI for planning, records and diagnostics, but treat it as a tool that supports the work, not a replacement for doing it.
3
Aim for the site, not the screen
The part of this job that pays is done in a real place with real materials. That is what protects it, so keep steering towards it.
