I have a degree in computer science and experience with explosives. I am not brilliant at research and poor at interacting with people. My current COA is to become a software engineer for the money. Do I appear to be making some dumb oversight.

I’d also recommend doing a thorough review of how your career is going once a year. And try to meet people in the effective altruism community and ask them if there’s something you’ve overlooked.
