NVIDIA CEO states that skilled trades have better prospects than computer science graduates

Abstract generation in progress
AIMPACT News, May 16 (UTC+8), NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang told the 2026 computer science graduates at Carnegie Mellon University that technicians such as electricians and plumbers have better prospects than they do. Data supports this view: Randstad analysis shows that demand for technicians is growing three times faster than white-collar jobs, with robotics technicians increasing by 107%, while Stanford research found that early employment in AI-related positions has decreased by 16%. Top electricians earn over $106k annually without student debt. Tech companies are investing $700 billion this year to build data centers, with global investments expected to reach $7 trillion by 2030. These infrastructures rely on human labor, but manufacturing faces a labor shortage, with 102 people leaving for every 100 new workers entering. The biggest winners in the AI era are technicians capable of building data centers, not prompt engineers. (Source: AiHot)

Prompt engineers burst into tears in the bathroom, while the electrician quietly counts money.

That data from Stanford is interesting; AI positions have actually decreased by 16%.

As a computer science major, I was left speechless after reading it.

$106k still haven't paid off student loans, can you figure out this calculation?

In 2030, 70 trillion. Is it considered bottom-fishing to learn electrical work now?

White-collar triple growth rate, this report from Randstad must be kept.

Data centers are the new coal mines, and miners' values are skyrocketing.

For every 102 people who go in, 100 people come out, who will fill the gap in manufacturing?
