I don’t understand why this is relevant to the question of whether there are enough people doing e2g. Clearly there are many useful direct impact or skill building jobs that aren’t at ea orgs. E.g. working as a congressional staffer.
I wouldn’t find it surprising at all if most EAs are a good fit for good non e2g roles. In fact, earning a lot of money is quite hard, I expect most people won’t be a very good fit for it.
I think we’re talking past each other when we say “ea job”, but if you mean job at an ea org I’d agree there aren’t enough roles for everyone, but most useful direct work/skill building roles aren’t at ea orgs so it doesn’t seem very relevant, and if you mean directly impactful job or useful for skill building your claim seems wrong, seems like there are many jobs that will be better fits for people than e2g motivated ones (imo).
