Outside of medicine, a non-CS engineering degree, preferably also a masters, remains a good pathway to a reasonable non-parasitic job, although relocation may be required.

law is a parasitic job, with shit life-work balance, if you want a job, unless you want to work solo, good luck finding a law firm that wants you.

medicine will always be the most secure and stable career, still has a shit life-work balance too.

Can it be replaced with good references and an interesting portfolio?

For those with a CS degree, I think the issue is that we aren't correctly using CS and AI to amass power as we rightfully should. We literally hold in our hands the power to delete many desk jobs from existence, also to offer various original new services, but somehow we're feeling crippled. This disconnect requires bridging.

Deleting those desk jobs requires understanding those desk jobs. Which means either working them or teaming up with someone who does

		A lot of desk job work: 1. To the extent it's standard, it's covered in textbooks which are easily learnable by AI. 2. To the extent it's original, it often is independently rediscoverable by AI from a combination of general intelligence plus workplace training data over which the AI learns. 3. To the extent it's learned (by a human from another human), it'll still slowly be captured by workplace training data over which the AI learns. 4. To the extent it's undocumented, it's up to management to have the processes documented.
