I’m kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don’t give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn’t slop)

I’m sick of it, I’m sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

    Unfortunately the countries with high population and public education being negligible, have really low pay.

    I heard Norway and Sweden kindergarten teachers get 120,000 USD ! that sounds great.

      hehe, I wish, but no, the starting salary is more like $55 000, increasing to about $65 000 as you get more experience.

        oh no. That does sound low. But i do believe if your interest lies in teaching it brings you joy.

        Can someone in their late twenties start teaching in nordic schools? Or do they have to begin studying for 2+ diploma courses?

          It’s a three year bachelor’s degree to become a kindergarten teacher in Norway. You can work in kindergarten without that education, but then you’ll be more of an assistant and your salary will be even lower.

          You’d also have to learn Norwegian, of course, unless you can get a job at one of the very few english-language international kindergartens.
