Hydraulic Elevators Below The Giza Pyramids That Lift Stones?

i have a teenage neighbor who is going to graduate high school and is still confused but is fascinated by energy and power plants. i sent him this guide to starting with an associate degree and working towards a nuclear technician job. Very little capital at risk at his local college. 📄.pdf

i still tell nieces and nephews who are smart to get an engineering degree so they have a base in first principle thinking founded on physics that doesn't change. AI will be used in these jobs but won't take them away. I tell the more physical minded relatives to join oil and gas companies laying pipe and working the fields in midland or get a master electrician cert so they can be a high earning tradesman. AI isn't going to take physical jobs for a long time. Most people with money struggles should excel in community college first before transitioning for the final two years in state school. no one should start in a private school u less they are the most academically driven kid you have ever met. the risk isn't priced correctly. took much doom about the future of AI. be smart and learn things that don't change that are based on physics.
