I nearly was LW. I had to get into Harvard to avoid being sent to Eastern Nazarene University (you haven't heard of it because it's smaller than Liberty U, but no less fundie). I could not have articulated this at seventeen (and I wouldn't've admitted it aloud except maybe to my best teenage friends, lest my parents hear and beat me with a Bible) but not only did I not think my psyche could survive 4 years of Fundie College but I didn't want Fundie College on my record/resume/etc the rest of my life, for exactly these reasons.
Unlike LW I had already been thinking my way away from fundamentalism, but I was lucky -- I had read books and been given education that opened mental doors to me. (Thank you, Mary Renault, and also to my first group of friends in 3rd grade, who were all Jewish.)
The discussion has the usual "if you, Jewish Lesbian*, do not hire a fundamentalist who will spew abuse at you every day that is religious discrimination and BAD" stuff in it, but it also has a lot of advice to the LW about ways she can signal she is not a fundamentalist anymore.
*: There is someone in there calling herself Jewish Lesbian Hiring Manager and I love her.
I'm more sympathetic to LW than you might expect
