    This administration and Project 2025’s assault on education is insane.

    I work for a University, not doing any research stuff and we are so heavily affected.

    I don’t have advice. From my friends who have made career changes later in life - they heavily invested in themselves and took risks.

    If you want a job away from the politics, a museum probably isn’t the best place either. And I’ve heard it’s near impossible to get the rare opening unless you are well connected in that community.

    I don’t say that to bring negativity, if it’s a risk that’s worth it to you, then jump towards it.

    If you look at other historical events related to bailouts, like the mortgage crisis in 08. Corporations will get a pass, and there will be a few fall guys. Other CEOs and execs will continue with their life. All the while the 99% will pay and struggle.

    I’m not intimately familiar with the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, but I’d wager something similar happened then too.

    Americans will not be motivated until a few thing happen. Either there’s no choices at stores (or nothing to buy at stores). Or enough people are destitute and have mother left to lose. Then people will start to stand up for themselves.

    Most people truly believe they will be the next 1%. Until that hope remains, nothing will happen.
