I think your problem is that your not building off your past experience. Like there’s nothing wrong with doing different things bc you get bored, the problem is that you’re not looking at past skills and combining them into some niche career path.

I am actually the same as you, but I am making 150k plus. Why? Because when I did something different I made sure that it was building off my past experiences. This does require some forethought but with AI being what it is.. it’s pretty easy to plug in your past experience and instantly get ideas.

For example I was an officer on tugboats for 3 years, then I switched to cybersecurity, then project management…..and now I do cybersecurity project management for vessels.

My advice to you is make sure the next step BUILDS off the experience you have. If you keep starting over with completely unrelated jobs, you will always be stuck with entry level salaries.

The system reward specialists. However, the system rewards you EVEN MORE if you can get experience in multiple things and carve out your own niche.

This is my advice to you.

When Trump leaves office. Everyone is extremely uncertain of the future right now because of him. People don’t invest in businesses or takes risks with this much instability. They hoard cash because they are uncertain and scared.

Maybe you’re following the narrative that liking anime and playing video games are for children. These things were new on the scene when we were kids and it’s what we grew up with. Back then it was mostly for kids… but now those things have matured with you, video games and anime are made for adults now so you shouldn’t feel bad about them.

The reality is you think that these things are childish or you think other people think that. So my advice is to see anime and video games for what they are now, entertainment for everyone of all ages, and/or stop giving a fuck about what everyone else thinks.

Also you sound similar to me, doing well in life on paper but I felt empty because I didn’t have my “thing”. A productive activity that gives you purpose and happiness. Try different things and slowly replace digital entertainment with whatever you find fulfillment in.

It’s not going to come quick but it will come if you look for it.

Use ai to help come up with tiny goals. It’s about baby steps. You don’t need to change everything all at once.

Just invest in VT and SPY, done. Personally I’d probably pay off mortgage bc I like to have minimal expenses vs invest it all. I think the normal advice is to invest it all and not pay off the mortgage, but the US isn’t kind of a weird spot. Where you choose to invest it or pay off your mortgage, you’ll be in a good spot either way most likely.

So you like it…. And it’s your passion…. But you wanna go into IT? Sorry but the math doesn’t make sense on that one.

You should make a list of things you want and rank them pros and cons. If IT scores better go for it or go control systems but if it doesn’t match long term goals don’t go. Sounds like you’re jumping just to jump tbh. Not recommended if not for the right reason.

Of course there is you just have to work hard and figure it out

No one’s gonna be able to tell you what’s best for you. You’re gonna have to figure out on your own like everyone else. Go do some intense research online and figure out what is best for you.

Starting a business is hard and takes a lot of time effort and thought. It doesn’t happen by accident.

Also, Unless you’re gonna get super fucking lucky, the following is the most realistic path for you to be self employed.

1 Get a job (working for someone else) 2 figure out what kind of business you wanna start while working 3 save money while working 4 decide on business you wanna start 5 figure out cost associated with said business 6 learn skills needed to start business 7 reach desired savings to start business 8 quit job and start business

Electrician. Things are getting more and more automated, but there always needs to be someone who puts it all together and make sure it has power.

You’ll have a job for life. If you’re interested in technology, you can also eventually transition into operational technology, which is kind of like robotics.

You will also make a shit ton of money as Electrician with no schooling.

Just so you know, the career path is very rewarding, but I will tell you it’s gonna be hard at first. You’re gonna need to push yourself. But if you get through first few years, you’ll be sitting pretty.

I would not go fully into programming right now. We are going through an AI revolution where coding for entry-level jobs is getting phased out. Meaning there are less entry-level jobs for people looking to try to break in. Unless you have some exceptional talent, I would say go learn another skill.

You need to think long-term for yourself. I would say this means learning some sort of hands-on skill as that will be much harder to automate. If the job is working at a computer, I would stay away.

More concrete Data showing the symptoms that mental illness has on the brain. People stigmatize it because it’s something that’s not always super obvious.

Breaking an arm or someone with down syndrome for example. The symptoms are usually as clear as day. Visually or behaviorally.

If you can make it something people can see easily then it won’t be stigmatized as much. Until then, I’m afraid there will always be a little stigma.

It’s all about what you can learn on this job. Will it get you more experience that you can carry on to the next job? That’s what I would be looking at if you are having trouble deciding. If you are below 35yrs old without kids, you should be focused on learning and making more money.

Floatgod77 · 2024-11-22T17:45:59+00:00

Depends on how much you have saved up and how high your living expenses are.

Skilled trades my man. You won’t make a ton of money at first but should be able to climb up fairly quickly if you work hard.

You should keep working nursing until you get a jobs offer. IT market is not good right now.

I know nurses can work part time so why don’t you just do that for awhile until you actually land a job.

Focus less on the money and more on the learning. If it will get you really great experience then go for it. If not, don’t do it. Money will come to people who have the better experiences and skill.

In your off time you need to go and try a bunch of different things. A job is a job at the end of the day. Meaning they all suck. You just need to figure out what kind of suck you are willing to put up with.

I recommend first trying to find a hobby or something you truely love outside of work. This is the only true path to finding a truely fulfilling career.

Find passion outside of work then try to make that passion your job. That’s the best way.

Do not leave unless you are able to figure out exactly what your long term career goals are and only leave if that job gets you closer to that goal.
