Not a wall st employee, but I'm ostensibly staying put at my family-supporting job for a couple more years while some money stuff works itself out, but if things go according to plan (lol), in two years I could make 25+% less and maintain our current lifestyle. I could go chase that green job that will pay less. I would have to relocate my whole family, do a lot of paperwork, figure some shit out with schools and a kid that might need a little extra help, but it's possible. I _do_ think we need to be changing our consumption habits, lifestyles, and careers to better ensure humanity's survival, but every single person is thinking like I am in that previous paragraph. I _could_ do the above, but for what… to do web app dev work for a company that's only kinda getting off the ground? We've made employment in the US so precarious, even for the college educated people with skills and half a life of career left in them, that this calculus is just too much to take on. You need a small army of smart and capable people with some financial stability and social cushion to do this stuff. Big problems demand big changes — I get it — but if you want big change in the US, you need to move political mountains that have not been moved for quite some time. I don't think the spreadsheet jockeys are would be good at that (just a guess).
