I’m in a similar situation as someone about to leave university (also in an accelerated ~5 year Master’s program and just got my Bachelor’s last semester but decided not to continue next semester for financial reasons) and the disconnect between the education system and job market is so bad, I almost feel like college made me stupider. (Might look into PhD programs more though.)
Other concern is that in my current area of specialization I’m now struggling to find jobs that aren’t associated with the MIC or some three-letter agency and I’m starting to wonder if pursuing my interests is digging myself into a trap (or maybe the city I live in just sucks).
On a serious note, I have looked into leftist organizations that were focused on community building, but haven’t had the time to stay involved and I have to move out soon anyways unless I can find an income source that will let me live on my own.

Have you considered starting a revolution? That’s where my mind is these days.
No I have not
