1) Have you read the book āHow to Create a Vegan World: A Pragmatic Approachā by Tobias Leenaert? I believe it is a very good reference for effective vegan advocacy.
2) I have noticed UN is not on your list. Have you considered working, for example, for UNās COPUOS?
By the way, I sympathise with your position because I will finish my MSc thesis (Preliminary Trajectory Design for a CubeSat Mission to a Near-Earth Object) in a few months (hopefully!), and I am also looking for an effective career. I only found out about EA, via 80000 Hours, at the beginning of my MSc, and noticed that Aerospace Engineeing does not seem to be in high demand. According to the 80000 Hours most pressing problems page, the topic more closely related to Space seems to be āGovernance of outer spaceā from the āPotential highest prioritiesā list. However, economics or law backgrounds are likely more suitable than engineering for that areaā¦
Do you think there might be other effective careers in Space, such that I could capitalise on my Aerospace Engineering background? For example, in terms of planetary protection, besides asteroid collision risks, space weather and space debris could be relevant. I wonder if I should aim for a Phd in these sort of areasā¦ Any advide would be appreciated!
I have also been fantasising about being a representive of the party ā PeopleāAnimalsāNatureā (the Portuguese party closest to Animal Justice Party). I have only became a member a few months ago, and have not been that involved, but I would like to change this.
