Assuming your in USA, pursue something that requires government granted professional licensing. The AI may do a lot of the work, but a professional will still need to stamp off:

Trades Dentist Doctors Engineers (PE licensed careers) Lawyers (this one is iffy because stating your career will be next to impossible once GPTlegal replaces all entry level associate jobs in the next 5-10 years)

Careers to avoid as AI replacement is immenent:

Teachers Middle management Draftsmen Admin Assistants Supply chain managers Anything solely performed on a computer that doesn’t require a license or very abstract thought

This video details pretty in depth the process of basically mining Venus for the resources we'd need to construct a Dyson swarm.

We could actually fairly feasibly build a swarm, or semi-swarm within our lifetimes.

>Where do we get the materials to build it? Nevermind, the world would never unite to try.

The first part I can answer. The second part? Lol, yeah we're pretty fucked.

People will give you different advices, but no one knows what happens exactly. Even I’m in the same boat as you. Do some research and see which domains take more time for models to take up. Let me know too. 😉

Frankly if we ever progress so much that we have the technology for full scale space mining for the resources needed for a full Dyson sphere, we should also be able to make all sizes of fusion reactors, so what will be the need of a full scale dyson sphere if we would have already mastered fusion powerplants and could use them much easier to provide limitless power? Dyson spheres just sounds like a pointless fantasy unless we need to gather enough energy to blow up some other star or planet for some reason.
