The list seems reasonable to me. However, it all *assumes* getting a bachelor's degree is a good thing to do at all, especially if you (or your parents) are not wealthy enough to pay for it. Going into debt for *any* bachelor's seems like a bad idea at the moment. My recommendation for most of the kids I meet is to go into a union-backed apprenticeship. These careers are also less likely to be displaced by AI in the medium term, as well. The fine-grained hand-based labor like plumbing and electrical wiring won't be doable by robots any time soon.
