If they add a new tax, only Californians will have to pay it. Whereas if they win the suit and get the money from the companies directly, the financial impact will be spread throughout the globe. The lawsuit nets California more money in the long run.
Why do you think you wouldn't be entering the job market until 30?
Just because you won't have your degree until then, doesn't mean you can't get some sort of a job. I worked part time all through college as an undergraduate while school was in session, and full time during the summers. By the time I had my degree, I already had years of experience as a professional programmer. You can do the same.
Even if you have a hard time finding a regular paying job, there are plenty of good causes you can donate your time to, which will allow you to learn on the job and gain valuable experience. This will make you much more marketable in the future.
