Programming is like the only thing I enjoy that pays money, fortunately it pays pretty well. I'm a CS major now but I feel like I'm betraying my values by doing something that pays so well. I know it's not necessarily bourgeois, definitely petite bourgeois but idk it still feels kinda gross

    Being an engineer under socialism would be a dream come true for me because I would know for sure that my work would directly go into helping others.

    I feel like community makerspaces are a practical application of this. Obviously, it's not actual socialism, but it's essentially a community library for tools and engineering knowledge. I'd love to be involved with something like that myself, but it would take a bit of money to get it started. Even better would be a network of community workshops that share designs, best practices, lesson plans, etc.
