AI is making college students change their majors. Almost half of all college students report giving at least "a fair amount" of consideration to changing their majors due to AI.

These kids are not panicking irrationally. They are reading the room. In the US, 69% of college students fear AI will make it harder to find a job. 22% have already changed their major or concentration because of job market worries.

Computer science - the safe bet for fifteen straight years - just saw enrollments dip 8.1% in a single year.

And how about this:

In 2020, only 4 schools offered an AI major.
Now 79 do, and another 100 carry a minor or concentration.

These students looked at what's happening in the world right now... and then they acted.

That is not panic. That is a signal.

Students are not the crisis. They are the canary.

When enrollment data moves this fast and this decisively, it is not a story about anxious 20-year-olds.

It is a leading indicator of labor market repricing that most working professionals have not priced into their own thinking yet. The people closest to the entry point of the labor market are the ones updating their models in real time.

They have to. Their futures depend on getting it right, and they have no legacy assumptions protecting them from the truth.

Here is what that means as a read on where the economy is actually going.

47% of students surveyed gave at least a fair amount of consideration to changing their majors because of AI.

13% of bachelor's degree students already changed their field of study because of it, and 19% of associate degree students did the same.

These are not kids who read one scary headline. These are people who looked at a model, decided it no longer matched reality, and moved.

The canary is not in distress. The canary is already in the next tunnel.

The uncomfortable truth for people in their 40s, 50s and 60s is this:

These students looked at the skills YOUR career is built on.
And they decided those skills were not worth four years of college tuition.

They did not fall behind you.
They looked at your lane, decided it was the wrong road, and took a different one.

And most of them made that call before your industry even started talking about it seriously.

I still remember one of my first big losses in trading.

It felt like a punch in the gut. I had followed my plan... or so I thought, and still ended the day deep in the red. For a moment, I wondered: “Is this even worth it?”

But that day taught me something no book ever could. It taught me how not to trade. And more importantly, it showed me how valuable the right mindset is in this game.

Looking back, that loss wasn’t the end.

It was tuition.

Every loss that stings, every mistake that hurts — they’re part of the price we pay to master this craft.

I didn’t quit.
I learned.
I adjusted.

And I kept moving forward.

Years later, I’ve helped thousands avoid those same costly lessons and trade with clarity, confidence, and a system that works.

So if you're in a rough patch, don't quit. Just remember: you're not paying for pain, you're paying for progress.

And one day, you'll realize it was worth every penny.
