I think earning to give is a really strong option and indeed the best option for many people.
Lack of supply is definitely an issue, though it can be helped by looking for impactful opportunities outside of “EA orgs” per se—I don’t know if this is your scenario, but this is often a problem. Knowing nothing about a person’s situation and location, I’d prompt:
Can you look for roles in government in order to work on impactful policy?
Are there start-ups or other learning opportunities you could apply to in order to develop career capital?
Is there a niche in the world you’re suited to fill? Could you find a co-founder and start filling it?I say a bit more here.
