Yes and no. I am not being a Pollyanna. Its more of being an aggressive male-style problem solver, and taking matters into one's own hands. Not in all places for sure, but its clear that in the more political and less productive professions and sectors, so-called 'white-males' are at a genuine disadvantage in 2024, so what can you do? What you can do, as a matter of self-preservation minimum, is to gain real skill in various difficult disciplines where one may already have a temperamental advantage. In my particular case, while observing the writing on the wall even 35 years ago, this meant working hard in numerous sectors doing the hard work and details of technical engineering. Result? Never rose into management (decided not to go that route) but made great money over a long period and more importantly, became an engineering expert in many domains, deep and wide, and thus am highly employable for the rest of my life.
