I am on the precipice of one and don't want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.

I'm in tech[derogatory] and the market now is still pretty bad for new entrant. I have friends with longer resumes than myself who are still looking after previous layoffs.

If you're good with people and leading, project/product managers can make as much as developers without needed to learn to code. It's stressful in It's own way of having to manage people's work and the success of projects but also not limited to tech so can be transferable. You could probably study for the PMP or scrum master certs to pad the resumes up and skip college
