College student looking for unbiased career advice.

Im struggling to pick a career the way the world Is going and didn't realize how censored reddit is. I'm considering optometry or accounting, possibly engineering. I want to know the true threat of ai on accounting and if people believe it'll last another 50 years esp with outsourcing. or if i'm better out going to school for many years to do optometry. i like the idea of accounting because of the overall career progression and the ability to make more than an optometrist eventually, but also have my worries about ai and outsourcing. if anyone has some useful unbiased advice please feel free to chime in.
