The world doesn’t need more finance grads, economists consultants

The UK has like no industry. Even if I could break into the financial services or consulting industries in this job market, how long until I’m made obsolete with automation. And honestly should I be? There is too much outsourcing and financialisation pretending to be economic activity. Even on the sustainability front this ESG carbon offsetting is baloney. So much of the “prestigious” jobs seem to be doing more harm than good and serving the interests of rich corporations and people. I would go into a trade but I’m concerned about my health carrying heavy objects.

Sorry for my despairing post, any words of agreement, disagreement or wisdom are welcome :)
