Question for computerScience-smart cels

> Me 24, Italian
> Me failed CS uni (failed genetics).
> Me doin dead end joyb without purpose or growth.
> Me still care about AI future and sheit.
> Me started learning Python and vibecoding guides, installed Cursor and filled my storage with libraries I was suggested to download.
> Me made a Deeplearning.ai account to watch andrew ng lectures and considering to pay a subscription to recieve a certificate.
> Realizing that information travels so fast in web 3.0 that anybody can really learn anything and this grows my hatred towards academics.

The question is (there are many), if I fill my mind with every sort of information regarding AI, obsessively, and I master any sort of library, framework, do kaggle, huggingface etc, can I be valuable or it doesn’t matter anymore? Like I fear this is just goycattle and the tech will be forever guarded by degree holders in a facility. Is this already the past, or there’s something to gain out of “learning through AI-ML-DL” courses, repositories, books, videos? Could I potentially look for a job after that?

I just wanna be prepared for whats gonna happen, nobody can really be, but I wish to be doin something non-obsolete for the rest of my days.

The problem with CS is not that its guarded but rather that it moves and changes too fast every few years. There's a new paradigm up for adoption that crops up every couple of years which mobilizes and drives the entire software industry into a frenzy making tech leaders run after as if its a new gold rush. First came web, then social media, then web dev 2.0, then cloud, then devops, and now AI, all of which occurred roughly within 2 to 3 years and it all came and went quickly. When a new technology is on the bleeding edge, there's huge frenzy and anxiety, followed up quickly with widespread adoption, and then its near-instant obsolescence from its automation. The rapid break-neck highs and lows are exhausting, especially for low IQ cels like me. How do you even keep up your skillset when everything changes so fast?

I don't think you can get an AI related job without degree, a lot even requires a Phd. You can try applying to software engineer/developer positions, you could try making a personal project in React/Angular and talk about that in interviews. But as I know, now it became harder to get a job even for new graduates because a senior with AI can do everything the juniors did before.
