I’ll also point out that a lot of animal advocacy is growing in low and middle income countries, and having locally-knowlegeable staff or activists is an important part of that work. A lot of animal-focused work also needs STEM (e.g. cellular agriculture, biology.) Example: https://​​gfi-apac.org/​​#gfi-brazil
The age when you’re old enough to have formed a lot of your own views but don’t yet have much practical independence from your family can be so tough. For people who don’t fit the mold of their local and family setting, it can feel like forever until you’re able to live life more in accordance with your own views and values. But careers are long, and in a few years you’ll have so many more options as far as how to live your life and how to contribute to things you care about.
I agree with Amber!
