What should my child study?
You are being asked for a plan by someone you love, and the honest answer is that you cannot see far enough to give one. This question is about what a parent can honestly offer when prediction is off the table.
A first orientation
The question usually hides a different one: how do I protect my child from what I am afraid of? Naming that helps, because protection through prediction is not on offer to anyone right now.
What remains on offer is teaching a child how judgment is formed, how to check a result, and how to stay curious after being wrong. Those do not depend on guessing the labor market correctly.
