Just to add to this: you do want to go into academia. If you can carve out a niche, get tenure, and run a lab, you can get super /comfy/. You may not like decisions that the school board makes, but corporate America is a dumpster fire of boomers who ruin companies because they realize that their climb up the ladder never made them feel satisfied. They lash out, take all the profits, and give useless orders and wonder why trading their life to sell commodities feels so empty.

In academia, you will have a stable career peering into the details of a field of science answering questions that you, yourself want to know or trying to build something that you designed as an engineer. You would be the primary driver of human innovation while the rest of the world leeches off of you.
