A new survey reported that students are experiencing uncertainty and emotional distress about how artificial intelligence will reshape their future careers. The findings include students describing themselves as “uncertain,” “concerned,” “nervous,” and “depressed,” linking the psychological strain to both AI anxiety and cost-of-living pressures. The report also indicates that students perceive AI as a direct influence on career choice, with uncertainty extending beyond job displacement narratives into day-to-day planning about majors and pathways. For student success professionals, the survey underscores a growing need for counseling, career advising, and communications that address AI’s practical impact on employment trajectories rather than only abstract ethical discussions. Institutions may also need to align employer partnerships and experiential learning programming with students’ expressed concerns about how AI skills and automation affect hiring expectations.
