This post makes me so happy that I stuck with social work. I studied comp sec for a semester after I graduated as a social worker. Did well, enjoyed it, but went back to shelter work to pay off student loans. Ended up sticking with social work and working a cushy halfway house job now until I decide to go back to school. Thankfully counselling and social work are not high up on the list of job killers for AI. You'll always need that person-to-person connection, you really can't mimic that with a bunch of ones and zeros.
