I agree with you in terms of thinking about which career choices will be rewarding and stable over decade, but I think you underestimate the importance of credentialism in landing jobs, particularly with earlier career professionals. Tech (in many places) has a fairly well understood credentials / technical skills that you could learn which yields a high likelihood of some lucrative job placement. Compare this to other lucrative pathways with less defined skill sets (say, consulting, policy etc.), where job entry has little predictability with regards to upskilling or increasing your credentials.
