It’s probably worth it to look into changing fields entirely, but honestly so many industries in the US are hurting right now, IDK which ones would even be a good option…
I just finished my associates in something called “industrial maintenance.” A degree that is a little bit of electrical, HVAC, Circuits, & machining. I have not been accepted to the 20 “entry” level jobs I found (also went to a career fair). And everywhere I look for related fields or anything people say there’s too many people in the business. It’s like every job field has “too many people”
I switched careers from logistics (office) to IT a couple of years ago. Logistics was notoriously badly paid and it was hard to find a job that’s not temporary for a year amd then they throw you out.
Everybody kept telling us for years to go to IT, because that’s where the money and the non-temporary contracts are… But that’s only true for people who’ve worked there for decades.
It really does feel like no field is left where you can have a stable career. Accounting, sales, hospital, no matter where you ask, it’s temp contracts and shitty wages.
