Very glad you wrote this! As I’m feeling the same way, most of the 80,000 hours site is aimed at the much younger (and affluent) crowd. There are a lot of people (me included) working day jobs in their fields that want to make a difference as well, but are probably not going to move to pursue a PhD in AI and move to London, cause you know....life and stuff.
I hear you! This is a far larger group of EA’s than I initially thought. Encouraging and worrying at the same time. Worrying because of possibly missed potential.
