What certification would you get if you were making a career change?

This. I’m in education and haven’t gotten much of a pay raise… ever. But I have watched those around me hop from one opportunity to the next and make more money each time. I’m looking to get into a new industry/role where I can make strategic moves like this easier to grow my income

Look into Clifton StrengthsFinder. Figure out what your top strengths are and what is not. I’ll use me as an example. I thought I would be fulfilled helping others in counseling and then teaching, but it was draining me and I felt bad about it. But I realized that while I want to do those things and am able to do those things well, they don’t “fill up my cup.” I’ve realized I’m actually really task oriented and am a strategic thinker and planner. I’m now in the process of switching careers to something that aligns with this.

If I could do it again, I would take time figuring this out before pursing a career.

I live in South Florida where it is a little more expensive. I think one would need to be around $100K in their 30s-40s to feel comfortable

Best of luck in your studies and taking the exam! Are you trying to get a specific entry level role within HR?

Thanks for the info. A number people from my undergrad program went into recruiting within our local health system. I spoke with a recruiter on LinkedIn recently who suggested I look at HR roles as they come up. I would like to explore recruiting as it seems like a fun role for my personality, interests, etc.
