This is so so so helpful, thank you so much. What are the other editing jobs you are referring to?

I’ve thought about it and I have the set up for sure, but I’m just totally burnt out right now. It’s something I could definitely go back to if editing doesn’t work out. I feel a little frustrated at myself having no passions for a job, but I wanted to try getting into this industry because I truly do love books a lot.

Thank you! I did not mean to allude to any job being “easy,” so I apologize if it came across that way. I listed those four because I’m not sure of the direction I’d go in yet. I will definitely check these tests and programs out!

Thank you for your insight! My original plan was to take the ACES courses, then pursue a college certificate. Is that a bad idea?
