You said at the beginning of the video that you would talk about AI and how it will impact IT jobs, but you didn't??

I am about to finish my BS degree in IT. I have one more semester (4.5 years total). Luckily with scholarship and government support I have gone to school completely free. I also landed my first full time tech role as I now have a contract position (where I work with various web technologies and provide end user support) for the gov/state I live in. After December 2024, I will be done with school have a lot more free time on my hands and I am unsure what to do. I thought maybe obtaining Security+ and CCNA would be good, but I am honestly unsure. Any advice?

I feel like it's not. I got my degree in cs/ Cybersecurity. I still haven't landed a job. It's been 2 years.

very surprised that you didn't focus more on the potential for AI to replace many IT jobs.
