I think in many ways it is. I think it’s more important than finances, more important than skill level more important than education. Attitude makes or breaks you in life

The Rise of the Single Woke (and Young, Democratic) Female - www.aei.org/.../

“The key driver of these attitudes may be universities, where feminist ideology often holds powerful sway. Women now predominate on college campuses. In the late 1960s they were about 39% of college graduates; now they are about 59%. The percentage of full-time female professors has risen dramatically; at the full professor level the percentage has grown by roughly one-third.
Women now earn more than half of advanced degrees, not only in education but health and medical sciences, and are making great strides in engineering and law. With this growth, a feminist agenda has become increasingly de rigueur in colleges. According to the  National Center for Education Statistics, the number of women’s and gender studies degrees in the United States has increased by more than 300% since 1990, and in 2015, there were more than 2,000 degrees conferred. There are widespread movements to establish women’s centers almost everywhere, even as men are abandoning college and university life in record numbers, and those who remain are hit with messaging about behavior and status from diversity, equity, and inclusion offices along with various student life offices that regularly call them toxic, aggressive, and born misogynists.”

I studied social sciences from 2016-2019 during university, but then dropped out cause of government cuts to student loans/grants. I transferred over to [community] college in 2021 and just graduated last year in 2023 (officially in August, but convocation was November). I studied computer programming because I was always interested and good with tech, and I figured learning to code would benefit me. Obviously going to university was a huge mistake as I acquired roughly 25K in student loans whereas in college I somehow got grants and no loans.

But then the kung flu virus thing "ended" (not offensive to me when I'm Far Eastern) and many tech companies decide to not hire any entry level programmers/engineers now. It's only getting worse as more people in tech get laid off, as well as the job market being in the favour of employers, unlike before during the Great Resignation. I've considered getting into skilled trades but I was skeptical although now I'm a bit desperate. I do have my own self employment venture in automation as insurance though, but it'll still take time before I can get funding.
