As an aside, I have on many occasions bemoaned the jobs that have been lost in part due to the work I do. This is why I drink.
That's what I want to go into. What languages do you know, or suggest working towards? I don't want to be one of the people who lose my job after making myself obsolete through my own automation haha, so I'm thinking of computer science instead.

Seriously. Do something that cant be automated or outsourced. If I knew how to do anything else I would - and that's coming from someone with 30+ years in tech.
I might just be jaded after seeing more friend and coworkers than I can count get outsourced or downsized. I stopped counting 15 years ago.
