Gosh, a lot of what you are talking about sounds like what it is like to finish a PhD that doesn't have a future in academia as well. Sometimes I feel like a failure for choosing software engineering, but I should probably be grateful I have that option.

Many people can only dream of getting a degree that’s an instant ticket to upper middle class life.

Go straight to software engineering, skip the PhD.

I would gladly give 10 years of my life to be in your position. We humans are very weird.
