How to change career at 29 years old and no experience in other fields?

I m 29 and bored with my career as of late. I work in the fitness industry and have 2 years as manager. I am also in my first semester in mph program. I am not too thrilled with either of these things going on in my life and I don t know what I would do with a mph degree. Honestly just thought it would help me in my career growth. But like with everything else you need passion and motivation to pursue your career achievements that I don t have too much of. I have been listening to side hustle and start up podcasts for the past few months and that has sparked my interest. I don t know much about starting side hustles and start ups but I do know that I want to run my own business. Before I even do that I want to gain experience and knowledge with the business aspect. How would I go about doing that? Should I take classes? Certifications? Internships?whats the best way route to take?

From Counseling to Tech?

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Substance Use Disorder Professional with a background in social work project coordination and community outreach organizing. I miss the aspects of those roles that involve a team-based creative process of designing and implementing programs and solutions to social problems and managing the group dynamic and workload for a good cause. While individual clinical treatment planning does involve some of that it is solitary and ultimately I am looking for something where I could utilize this expertise on a larger scale in more of a project management or creative capacity. Recently I have gotten curious about what opportunities exist in the tech industry (I live near Seattle) for someone with my background that would not require formal training in CS. Any ideas of companies projects or job titles I should research just to see what type of roles like this might exist?

The place is only about 10 minutes from my home and I have indirect connections with HR through my mother and also through a friend who attends the same university as me and also had an internship there last year as a freshman (he is ChemE). I am trying to get prepared for this interview and I would like advice on what questions I should prepare to answer and also what types of questions I should have ready to ask. Having an internship my freshman year would look really good down the line so this is an important opportunity for me.

I want to work for something like Door Dash or Post Mates because I could clock in whenever I have the time and make some money that way. The only problem is is that every app service ive found requires you to be 18+ some even require 21+. Is there ANY delivery app that will let a 17 year old work for them?

Anybody have advice for someone who is considering dropping out of college and go to welding school?

In a bit of a difficult situation supposed to register for classes tomorrow (I currently attend Clemson University) but honestly I have never had less motivation or will to do anything in my life. Originally after high school I did not 100% plan on going to college because of how much I hated school. The only reason I decided to attend college was because I received an offer to play golf on a full tuition scholarship at a two-year JUCO. I had a great time being a college athlete and finished with an Associates in Business as well as an Associates in Art. Don t get me wrong going to Clemson is awesome I believe it to be an absolute honor and I think it s the best university in the world... But I m completely miserable as a student and I don t look forward to graduating from sitting in the classroom and library all day to sitting in an office all day. I m an Economics major with a minor in Management and I have absolutely no damn clue what I would even want to do with a degree like that. So once again I am considering an option I was considering when I was about to graduate high school going to welding school at a local community college and then starting a career in that line of work. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. (If I were to stay at Clemson I will likely have 3 maybe 4 semesters left.)

Anyways I did my best but I really thought I embarrassed myself and didn t do very well because I was so nervous but they invited me for a final interview tomorrow!

My boss is asking me to do things outside of my job description. I m afraid it s getting out of hand. How can I turn this around?

I recently started my first full time job out of undergrad. I m a creative writer. That s what I m qualified to do. That s what I know. The job is at a small law firm and I was hired to run the blog help draft damages letters and so on. A few weeks ago things were going well. I was writing regular blog content and spicing up things that needed to be sent to defendants or shown in court. It took a bit of a learning curve but I was completely on top of it. Then my boss decided our website needed a redesign. I thought he d outsource the design and have me write the site text. I showed him some other sites I thought were well designed and pointed out how design language could be used to engage potential clients. Suddenly I was in charge of the design. Right away I told him that despite having some limited knowledge of good UX principles I was not qualified to do an entire website. He told me that I m smarter than I think. Now I ve been working on the site for a few weeks. I got him to let me use a pretty dumbed down website building tool so that it would look nice despite the fact that this isn t something I ve done before. He keeps asking me to add in animations and build pages that a) this building tool doesn t allow for and b) that I wouldn t know how to create even if it did. Every time I present something to him he wants something even more technically impressive. I keep coming just close enough to what he previously wanted for him to up the ante again. He also asked me to design an entire digital marketing strategy spanning multiple domains we own and including ads etc. I ll say it again. I am a writer. I write a lot and I write well but I am not a visual creative nor a programmer nor a web expert. At this point I m barely doing any of the things I was initially hired to do. My boss isn t malicious. He is getting carried away and doesn t listen to outside opinion. I ve communicated my lack of knowledge every time he asks for something. I don t know what to do. How do I stop this train from derailing? Edit: a lot of good feedback here and different ways of approaching the situation. I appreciate it.

I love cars future technologies invention and innovation but I have no relevant qualifications that are needed to get a job. Has anyone got any advice on how to go about getting into a job like this?

A little bit about me: I am a 29 y.o. male from Melbourne Australia. I have always had a passion for cars and technology. However I was steered away from the automotive industry by my parents when I was at high school so I haven t been down any of the appropriate educational paths to get into the industry as of yet. I ve recently rekindled my passion for Motorsport (F1 in particular) and the thought of working in the automotive industry especially around vehicle design genuinely excites me. I went to University a couple of years after high school and obtained a Bachelors in Audio Production (music has also always been a passion of mine). This gave me plenty of practical skills dealing with electronics and learning signal flow etc. Skills which have translated well into my current job (Audio Visual Technician). I tried running a business from home at one point offering mixing mastering services using the skills that I learned from university but was quickly disheartened when I was struggling to find work to add to my portfolio even when I offered my services for free. A few years ago I was accepted into a Bachelor of Industrial Design here in Melbourne. I completed 1 year before I decided that it wasn t for me. Everything was more concerned with form over function. And while I definitely appreciate form function is where my design mind falls. I applied to get into the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering after I decided that Industrial Design wasn t for me but as I don t have much of a mathematical background I wasn t accepted. As far as I can see my future (as far as my dreams are concerned) lies somewhere in the middle of these two subjects. I don t know what that is called or if that exists however. I am a natural problem solver and I am highly adaptable to new situations and information so I am able to problem solve on the fly. I love inventing and conceptualising new ideas and building from old ones. I have a highly active imagination which I absolutely love exercising whenever I can. Elon Musk is a big idol for me as I admire what he has done so far how he got here and where he s headed. I realise that he is an exceptional person and he is incredibly lucky to be where he is but to get an opportunity to do anything somewhat similar to him is a major dream of mine. But how to start heading in the right direction is my big question...

Social Work or Human Services Degree?

I m currently looking to make a career change. I m working in HR current (Benefits to be specific) and have a bachelors in International Studies with a concentration in Asia. I ve realized that my career is not in any way fulfilling. My dream is to work for an adoption agency. I would love to help pair expectant mothers with potential parents for their child. It would also be my dream to work for the Make-A-Wish foundation in some capacity. I ve realized that I m currently not qualified to work in either setting and will need to go back to school. In your opinion which degree should I pursue in order to achieve my goals? It seems that a degree in Social Work might be the right path but a degree in Human Services with a focus on child and family welfare may also fit. Also do you know of anywhere in North Carolina where I could pursue my degree online? Thank you in advance!

When looking for customer service jobs for remote work how can I specify on Indeed that I don t want anything related to upselling cold calling?

Basically I m looking for jobs that are hey I have a problem with my thingy and then I follow prompts to assist with helping with that thingy. Then maybe I m expected to push one package or something. What I don t want is: We re looking for people with strong sales backgrounds who have to fight to sell 36 packages a day or they ll be fired by the end of the month. Also must answer 320 calls a day. Are there job titles that typically exclude the latter?

From Data Analyst to software development ?

Basically I am a data analyst with around 8 years experience. With all the fad and hype around data science I can t see that my career will be long term viable. I am looking at possibly starting a career in software development as I already have some programming skills. Am I too old to do this ? Are there still good jobs for programmers ? If I cannot be a programmer I will look at something outside of an office. Thanks.

Any advice on how to deal with shitty malicious boss?

I got a new boss a few months ago. I know I did a good job still doing a good job. Other people told me that even his boss (before he became my boss) recognized me and my contributions. I still have people telling me that so it s not just in my head. For whatever reason he s been trying so hard to push me to the side trivializing and minimizing my work never thanked me. He didn t do it with others. But he took credit of my work many times even gave someone else credit for something I did. I have no words for what he has been doing to me the past few months. I feel like I am in abusive environment where he did all he could (verbally of course no written proof) to make me feel incompetent. I am suspecting he is insecure and prefer to surround himself with people who suck up to him and are not a threat to his position. I tried confronting him but he was so good at twisting the truth. I consider going to his boss or HR about this but I have no written proof. It d be his words against my words and boy he loves listening to himself and is very good with his words. I suspect nothing good will come out of it and he will make my work life even more miserable. It s unhealthy work environment for me but I can t quit yet (am starting a side business but very early in the process). Any advice on how to deal with this situation without losing my sanity?

Between Graphic Design and Dev?

My end goal in life: be free and travel Right now I work for a design agency but I hate the job. I found out that I am not able to work for someone else. My job enables me to work from anywhere but the salary doesn t allow me to work from anywhere. I also have a background in dev which is kind of something I would like to explore as a higher paying job and more “valued” by people. My drama lies around that I can think short term and find some freelance clients as a designer or I can stay in my job for 1 more year and focus on dev. Is there any other way? Or somebody can help me clear my mind a bit?

Current molecular medical diagnostic scientist interested in working in data analytics where do I begin?

Hello everyone I have been working in the biotechnology field for over four years as a developer of molecular medical diagnostic tests. My days consists of writing experiment protocols according to our standard operating procedures executing experiments analyzing data and writing reports and making recommendations based on generated data. While the products we develop help people s lives I have become disillusioned with the field and I am currently looking to switch careers. Based on my experience in data analysis and interest in new technology I have decided that data analytics might be a great fit for me. Now that I have arrived at this conclusion I would love to learn more about the field. What s a typical day in the life like? What resources should I use for learning? Which specific programming languages and data analysis programs are best to learn? I think SQL would be a good one to learn but I would like others opinions. In addition I have experience with JMP.

New Analyst: What are some things I can do to set myself up for success?

Hi everyone I recently landed my first Business Data Analyst role with a third-party logistics company. I m very excited! My question is — knowing what you know now — what are some things I can should do to set myself up for success? FWIW I ll be working on-site supporting a customer account (in an embedded capacity) helping them develop reporting tools answer questions and gain insights about their operations. Much of the data will be coming from their ERP system (SAP). The person who held my role before me developed some tools in C# (a script with which I don t have experience and about which I was candid during the hiring process) which is just to say that the company likes what the tools do but they also want to integrate some of that functionality into a Power BI environment. Not sure what other context to provide happy to answer questions to the best of my ability and thanks in advance for any guidance!

Discouraged in addictions counseling?

Hi im 22 years old and I really wanted to apply for additions counselling but I dont want to be a counselor that sits in an office and does therapy sessions. I really want to help in this area because it means a lot to me just not as a counselor. What other jobs can I have with this 2 year diploma. I live in Saskatchewan Canada. I would consider working in a psych ward or going out onto the streets and talking to people and building relationships in the community checking up on people helping with the drug crisis by handing out naloxone to people and trap houses or even working at safe injection sites or shelters. I want to be out in the field making a difference not just sitting in an office talking to court ordered drug addicts who dont want to be their to begin with. Am I screwed or is there a place for me in this world after I take this course? my intentions are right i just dont specifically want to be a counselor that sits in an office.

Should I pursue a job in casework while in school?

Hi all. I am a psychology undergraduate at my school and I am currently looking at social work opportunities for someone at my level of education. One job that caught my eye is casework. What I am concerned about however is that a job like that which requires so much dedication might take away from my schoolwork and prevent me from doing well academically. If anyone has taken this route before and can comment on it or just has advice on this idea please comment your thoughts. Thanks!

Okay. I think a trade is my only option at this point. Can I get some advice?

I don t really have much experience at all in trades. I ve been a residential painter which I m not sure is considered a trade. I enjoyed it a little bit 10 hour days 5 days a week felt faster than any job I ve had before it. Anyway I m 22 years old I ve never stopped going to school I ve been in college uni for 3 years and only have a General Arts &amp Sciences Certificate to show for it. Decided that I really cannot handle school if I m not in a program that is at least a little interesting to me. I m deciding that maybe a trade is what I m looking for but I just don t really know which one to look into.. I also don t want it to be a very long program. 1-2 years ideally. I m not into cars at all. I don t think I can handle being an electrician either.. I was looking more into HVAC things like that. I m concerned with heavy duty jobs only because I ll want to do this for a long time and so I want my body to be able to handle it as I age. I was even looking into like an internet service technician something like that but I just don t know what job to go for. I m not asking you guys to tell me what job I should aim for but moreso asking you to help me out with information on the trades and which ones you guys have seen people enjoy the most. Also again school is something I really can t grasp. I ve tried so much but I just can t handle sitting in a huge lecture hall and listening to somebody speak about shit I don t care about. I need hands on stuff. Thanks a lot.

Qualms about my career path in Wildlife Biology. How do I proceed?

(x-post from r findapath[1] not sure which is better) I feel as if I m back to square one. I chose to major in Wildlife Biology three years ago in hopes of working hands-on with animals in wildlife rehabilitation. I did my fair share of related volunteer work and this summer finally got an (unpaid...) internship in wildlife rehabilitation itself. It wasn t what I thought it was going to be and has made me seriously muddled about my career choices and interests. It also made me realize how little money wildlife biologists make and yearn for a bit more of a lucrative path. Nevertheless I m nearly finished with my wildlife biology degree and pretty stuck in this internship until summer s end. I ve talked to several people of whom I got different pieces of advice: (1) apply for grad school in a different major (2) work for a couple years after getting B.S. to find what you want to do (3) stay in undergrad longer and pursue something else and (4) just stick with it. On the bright side I am maintaining a good (3.7) GPA which should help me in some regard. I ve been considering my interests but as of right now nearly everything sounds interesting. I definitely don t want an all-time desk job or research position. I am interested in biology and physiology but I m also interested in building creating fixing machines and things...I always like to know the interworking of things be it biological or manmade––my original career choice was in engineering and I enjoy the implementation and problem solving that comes with the applied sciences. While I m super into biomimicry I m not that interested in bioengineering strange as it may sound. I like teaching helping other people animals and thought about going into emergency medicine. I ve also thought about getting into academia with a science but my dad is a professor and claims that it is mostly research. I ve also randomly thought about getting into forensics or something totally different. Of course engineering comes to mind but I don t feel I have the requirements to get into a graduate-level engineering program without an engineering degree in undergrad. What s bothersome is my friends in my year appear to be set on a path but I feel like I just wasted four years. Where should I go from here?

Unsure of which to choose Graphic Design or something IT related?

I m 20 years old and recently finished a 2 year diploma program in Computer Programming. But during those two years I figured out I was no longer fascinated with coding. My parents are urging me to go for a degree in University. I m stuck here unsure of which paths to choose. I ve been interested in art ever since I was young. I own a sketchbook and always found enjoyment when creating something. I m just worried if I go this path it s going to be difficult to break through in it and I feel finding a job in this field won t be easy. On the other hand I ve also been interested in technology which is why I decided to do the 2 year program in Programming. Although I didn t find myself to enjoy programming that much I m still fascinated by the technology aspect of it. If I do choose this path I m not sure what kinda of degree I should pursue. Anyone who s had any experience with either of those paths I d like to hear from you. Also any advice would be appreciated.

Aspiring to be a business analyst any advice?

I have an undergraduate degree in Logistics Management and I want to leave the logistics industry I ve been working in for 2 years. I find it boring repetitive and have rare opportunities for professional learning and growth. In this industry the only way to grow is by increasing the count of years of experience as we can only learn when we have dealt with many different customers shipments and industries. I want to make a career shift to a position that has more challenges and makes me gain some transferrable skills (i.e coding). I want to feel the significance of what I do and i feel like BA is the way as I would have to analyze data for a purpose of improving discovering something. I would actually use critical thinking and logic which is so personally satisfying upon the end of the task project. Also I figured that learning Python advance excel and SQL is a skill that can be used in any job and actually add to me as a person rather than be an operations executive where different systems are used in every company. I am planning to study an MBA in Business Analytics what more shall I do or add in order to be successful in this new career path.

Is this a bad career move? Has anyone changed careers from graphic design to internal communications?

I would consider myself a successful Art Director and multidisciplinary designer with over 20 years experience. I ve been with my current design studio for 15 of those years making change an incredibly scary prospect. I m 45 and still love what I do and feel comfortable still being hands on the tools and continually learning but there are few places in my location to earn more in this field and covid gave me a real scare with the security of my job. The only design jobs that pay well are UX based roles which I upskilled in but am now unsure if I would actually be happy doing due to things like creating boring dashboards with graphs and data and workshopping. I have anxiety which really clashes with taking leadership or being the source of attention. The UX path seems like a more natural progression but I have an opportunity to jump into an Internal ‘Communications Advisor role which feels very different because it is in-house and client side. I m worried that it will be boring due to lack of variety and being primarily focused on staff recruitment retention and culture rather than B2C external marketing. I ve been told I will be doing things like infographics and other visual based communications content for internal comms to staff. The company is in a secure industry and would see me earning $25k more than my current job. I m scared that if I do this I ll have boxed myself into a niche (internal comms for mining legislation) losing steam on my design skills and that I can t go back to brand design advertising if I hate this new career direction. I m really having a hard time choosing between this role starting up again applying for UX roles or just staying put on my lower salary for familiarity and reduced anxiety that these decisions are causing me.

19 student - What jobs should I take to become a bird rehabber?

Hi guys so I ve always known I wanted to be a bird rehabber or avian sanctuary caretaker after rescuing some birds in my area. I m currently in college working towards a biology degree and looking for a job that might eventually lead me to this final goal. I have done my time volunteering at SPCA. I ve also been a tutor waitress and currently am a student research assistant. I have applied to work at the bird park several times for various positions but got rejected because of high demand. The animal-related positions (vet assistant technician junior keeper) in my country are limited and over-subscribed. I m located in Singapore and am willing to relocate in the future plus travel to gain work experience in the coming summer. What are some jobs that would be contribute to my experience leading up to my goal? Thanks !

Should I pick Mental Health Counseling or Social Work?

I have time to apply for grad school because I missed the deadline for my school s mental health counseling program. However it was brought up to me by a social worker I know personally that a Master s in Social Work (licensed) could be utilized in more places than mental health counseling.

Help -what is considered a website or application built on HTML CSS Java PHP?

don t think I worded that correctly and it will be difficult to fill you in without telling you the whole story but of course its a bit difficult here. But I will do my best. So I applied for a Marketing Job. I met many of the requirements and have done the responsibilities elsewhere. However the employer just emailed me asking for samples of websites that are built on HTML CSS Java etc...theyre not asking for things I built using those languages (because Im not a web developer this is for marketing) but of websites that run on those. However most of the websites that I work just run on Wordpress. Is that what they mean? Can I just send links to the Wordpress websites I work on?

Do you need to complete a bachelor s degree and post graduate studies to become a cognitive behavioral therapist?

It seems pretty obvious to do a bachelor s degree if you want to be a teacher. Most people don t know that if you do a certificate and a post-grad qualification you can be qualified in two years. The job opportunities and starting rate are exactly the same but with one year less study. By the time a degree student finishes a certificate teacher has a year of work experience. They re already paying off their tuition fees and have had pay increases. I hear similar stories about other careers too where quick qualifications are just as good if not better. So I m hoping there is a more direct path to helping people with mental health care than having to learn about arts or science for 3 years with psychology as a major before specializing. Any advice on the education process would be greatly appreciated TLDR: The obvious path to CBT or child psychology work is a bachelor s degree in something else majoring in psychology followed by post-grad studies. But is there a more direct way into the industry?

how to I deal with my poor leadership?

This is a throwaway. I m a call center supervisor. After week upon week of my team being short staffed and under performing due to workflows being less than adequate from poor stakeholder management I am effectively being blamed of not being proactive or doing enough. Now i am being told by my manager and director that being short staffed is no longer an excuse when l m not the one who does hiring or even picks who get on my team. I am told just be on phones like a rep all day Mondays and there s no excuse to not be (including my job as a supervisor or helping my team). All the work flow issues are a result of my manager telling me not to enact the changes I want to for over a year. Now s*** hits the fan and it s my fault. My manager is the one who informed my director of everything so it s safe to say they threw me under the bus. How do I manage this at all? Should i talk to the director myself?. Go above them ? I m tempted to just quit. I dedicated years to this place to be given a supervisor role with the worst team while someone else reaps the benefit of my work. I just don t know how to manage being blamed for a situation I ve been trying to fix for literal months and being undermined every step of the way
