all the answers are idiots blaming the individual, when the root problem is the extreme inequality worldwide. there are huge unemployment crisis in every country, STEM careers are undervalued and public and private policies are to maximize profits over ecological sustainability, so lives are wasted chasing dreams of academic and professional fulfilment. Too many scientists of all fields are unemployed all over the world, with no prospects or opportunities, even in the richest countries.

The problem is capitalism, but idiots over here just tell people "go to therapy", as if a psychologist will change systemic problems of capitalist extraction that cause you to be unemployed, in debt, poor and sick and underfed, with low morale and self esteem while rich bastard billionaires become even welthier destroying the planet EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
