Why do you have to be financially responsible for them in such an extent you can't pursue your own goals in life? I think you shouldn't have to. Sit down with them and ask how they see their own future, and how they plan to cope after retiring. Tell them to what extent you can help and what not. Don't wait until you feel you have no other choice but to pay for everything just because they make poor choices

As I mentioned in my other comment, I would suggest studying business or marketing or any other similar area of study. Having the ability to recognize trends and tell a story with your findings is the most important skill to have. Being curious and asking the “why.” It’s also really important to be proficient in excel as you will be using it daily to manipulate and maintain data. Data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau are also widely used. Taking courses and getting certifications on those tools will really set you apart. Do some research on common data reporting tools like IRI (now called Circana), Nielsen, Numerator, and Atlas. I believe it’s possible to get certifications in those as well. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.

It doesn't actually require a problem with the road. Rather, it simply takes something that requires a driver turn properly. I've never seen anything like this but there's a wall not too far from here that's been hit IIRC 4 times over the years. It's a bit hard to see the place to turn until you're almost on top of it, I presume the impacts have been drunks who saw the turn too late and went into it too fast. Drunks will fail to navigate turns, if your house is in the line of fire you're going to take hits. (Which is why I absolutely would not buy a house that could be hit by someone not turning sharply enough.)

Define people I guess? A fifth? Half? Almost all? Like another commenter said, some people are already comfortable, and it's worth a reminder that in certain cases machine surgeons have been shown to outperform human ones. That said, even after that takes off, and ignoring the considerations of how much of the population, a huge amount of comfort will depend on soft factors such as early societal reactions and media.

​

I do think people will at least start to be comfortable in significant numbers sooner rather than later. Mid 2020s perhaps for enough for it to be relatively common (fifth-ish, enough so to not be shocking), and by 2030 for general acceptance (majority might consider one).
