Hi, I am a young student and am going on to university soon. I am interested in helping causes and organisations like unions and such for a profession. I thought of doing political science, but that's not very agreeable to my parents. So I thought of doing economics however I'm not sure how employable a pure economics degree is and whether or not I can stomache the neoliberal economics. If anyone could provide some of your own experiences and help me I would appreciate it.

Late answer, but if you have any interest in IT, go for it. Operational security is an often overlooked part of creating resilient organisations. And you would be surprised at how terrible many organisations' tech systems are.

Other than literally becoming a militant, becoming an IT technician in an org might be the closest thing you can become to directly strengthening an org.
