I am currently a first year majoring in Statistics at college. I chose this major partly because I really enjoy probability and statistical modeling but also because I believed that a major in Stats would help lead to multiple career paths. However, the recent developments of ai in data science, cs, and other math/stats related fields have made me heavily rethink my major and career path.

I was thinking of doing something in either data science, machine learning or actuarial science. I am now very uncertain on what to do and what to pursue. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do? I would appreciate any advice.
