AI has dramatically disrupted the traditional career pathway for junior developers and Gen Z professionals. Entry-level tech hiring decreased 25% in 2024, with 70% of hiring managers believing AI can replace intern work. Computer science graduates now face unemployment rates of 6-7%, higher than liberal arts majors. The traditional promise of coding as a secure career path has diminished as AI tools automate many junior-level tasks. However, there's potential for adaptation as the industry evolves to create new roles that complement AI rather than compete with it.
