I was trained as a statistician, but programming is where I earn most of my money. Programmers tend not to have much status, but most people are either not good at it or don't like it, so it has kept me employed. They'll try to replace me with AI some day, but I'm getting close enough to retirement, so it probably won't matter. Not many use it anymore but FORTRAN is still the best language I ever used. You could do almost anything mathematical with just 40 different commands and it was so logical. Some modern languages do some amazing things, but others seem unnecessarily complex.
