I am guessing you would be correct in the majority of cases, but in this one I'm just a bored low-grade polymath who spent a weekend researching (real research- primary sources, academic journals, etc... NOT watched two ticktocks) this topic and am infuriated at the situation and the professional reality you laid out.
Yes, the near future looks incredibly grim. Make America Great Depression Again.
Ah, so you are like me, or the category I described, you just haven't the formal education or work experience.
... possibly because you are capable of doing / understanding the math to the extent that you can explain why you can't afford such an education, or get such a job.
Keep that curiosity and analytical skepticism and skill alive, it will be highly useful in that 'medium term' I was describing, lol.
.... you wouldn't happen to have any coding or game dev experience, would you?
I'm retired by way of injury these days... I can't offer any money upfront, but you sound like the kind of person I would want to at least brainstorm ideas with, genuinely.
