Not going to sugarcoat it. The field is oversaturated, and with the advancement of AI people are doing their own automations and not hiring experts at all.
With that said, make sure you start with the Make academy. It has all the information you need on how to use Make. Don’t bother with the youtubers, they are selling courses that are largely based on what is already available in the academy.
So, would you recommend that I choose another field instead of automation, or should I continue learning automation and aim to become a professional in this field?
I’d keep learning, Djamel, and test the field with one small project alongside your studies. Build a workflow for a real business, measure the time it saves, and see whether you enjoy troubleshooting as much as building. That gives you a stronger basis for choosing a career.
Aim to become good at understanding business processes and making automations reliable. Those skills travel well as tools change. Clients have this slightly unreasonable habit of expecting the automation to keep working after the demo.
Honestly, its up to you. But automation on its own is not a field worth pursuing. You need to pair it with understanding of what needs automating in the first place and what can be safely automated. This is a lot more important than knowing how to automate it.
Say you want to automate something for an accounting company. Its much more important to have an understanding of how accounting companies work in the first place, then it is to just be a Make expert.
So if you are studying something different, sure, pair it with Make skills. It will be handy.
But if you are studying to become a software developer, you may as well skip Make entirely. Its just a tool.
I’m with @Stoyan_Vatov here. Learning to automate anything for the sake of automation is not a recipe for success. I highly recommend you specialize in a set of solutions for a particular business you have subject matter knowledge in. Way too many people running around who really have no expertise but claim they do. And they waste so much time and money building pure crap.
Ask yourself — what pain does automating AI going to solve for someone? Then try to market that and see if they buy.
“AI automation” is the new dropshipping.
The market was oversaturated before it could even be called a market. Plus, if a company already knows what it wants to automate, it can just use an LLM for that – they’ll only look for an expert once something goes terribly wrong.
If you’re looking for advice: focus more on process automation, optimization, and business analysis, if this industry interests you.
Knowledge of project management would be a huge advantage. And I totally agree with Stoyan – understanding the business and its needs is far more important, and that’s not something LLMs will replace anytime soon 
Have a nice day,

Yes, but pick one narrow, repeatable service instead of “AI automation” in general. A good first one for small service businesses is new-client intake: form (Tally/Google Forms) → Make → a row or Notion page for the client → a welcome email saved as a draft for the owner to approve.
Order I’d learn things in: (1) routers and filters, (2) webhooks and JSON, (3) error routes/resume so one bad bundle doesn’t kill a run, (4) dedupe (Data store or “search then create”, keyed on lowercased email) so retries don’t create two clients, (5) only then an AI module to pull fields out of free-text answers.
Build one demo end to end with fake data, record a 60-second screen capture, and quote it as “saves about X minutes per new client”. Keep a human approval step before anything client-facing goes out, and keep passwords and payment details out of any AI prompt.
@Djameljilali_djamel lot’s of idea have been shared here do with what seems fit for you for me to make money from any skill you need to have a positive mindset that everything is gonna work out, have a skillset that clients can trust you with there project and the most important thing which is the hardest you have to be visible lot’s of expert in the dark with this 3 i mentioned earlier you are good to go with any skill regardless of how saturated the market is
What is your goal?
