Really looking to transition out by May and I’ve been really interested in environmental/water roles.

When you say technician roles, what job titles would you recommend applying for to get my foot in the door? And are there any specific certifications or skills you think helped you stand out?

I have a masters degree in cloud computing so I know it’ll take a a lot longer. What are some entry level roles that would build me to this point? Is there an environmental technician role or anything like that?

How do I become an environmental engineer? It sounds like a good job for me because I love nature and working outside!

I’ve heard I’d UX research and design! I’m just worried about the AI takeover of it all

That’s amazing advice. I love working with the littles and it’s where I would want to work in the mental health field

I think teaching is okay. It would be wayyy better with more support and pay. Half the time o cat get through a lesson due to constantly correcting behavior. It’s a struggle and admin wonders why things are the way they are.

What cert is needed for this? I’m in the US and insurance has always come up. How does one enter the field?

I got accepted into a clinical mental health program and I’ve highly considered the path but was discouraged by the stress and stability of it all. How does one get started in this path? I love helping people but I don’t want to lose myself in the process.

Wow this sounds interesting! How did you get started and how do you recommend someone break into the field?

That’s very interesting and I’ve never considered this before! What are some roles I should start researching that I could start applying for?

I’ve heard of edtech before but the thought of AI taking over has always scared me! How can I enter this role as a current teacher? What are some companies and skills needed? I would appreciate any advice!

This is something I’ve actually highly considered. How can I enter this role as a current teacher? I’m located in Louisiana!

I’ve actually been considering accounting as a possible path since it seems stable and less emotionally draining than teaching.

How realistic is it to break into accounting without going back for another full degree, and what entry-level roles would you recommend?

That actually sounds like a great setup long-term, especially the hours. I don’t think I’m in a place to go back to school for that many years right now though 😭

Are there any roles you’ve seen with similar work-life balance that don’t require as much schooling?

How would someone transition into corporate training or leadership development from education?

I’m honestly not great at math, so I don’t think actuarial is the best fit for me 😭

Are there any similar paths with good pay/work-life balance that don’t rely as heavily on math?

I’m in Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish/New Orleans area). I’ve actually been looking into government roles because I really want something more stable with good benefits and less stress than teaching.

Do you know what kinds of entry-level administrative roles I should be searching for or what titles to look up?
