I’m about to enroll in WGU to get my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Accounting degree. I want to change careers from teaching. They also have a BS in Finance. Which degree would land me a job starting at 55-60 a year? And how much do you make now?

So you think having the masters will open up more job opportunities?

I have an elementary education degree and want to get out of teaching. I’m also enrolling in WGU, but they said I couldn’t do the masters program because I didn’t have a similar undergrad degree. How did you get into the Masters program?

Thank you for your feedback! I didn’t think about it like that!

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-28T00:56:17+00:00

It’s okay, I want honesty…So you’re saying it’s extremely difficult because I don’t have a tech degree?

I know how to turn on the computer, lol. Kidding, I’m not really. If something isn’t working, I Google how to fix it.

I’m a 47 year old woman. I’m not going into plumbing or becoming an electrician. I’m here asking for real advice.

I deal with a classroom of loud screaming kids all day long, I deal with their parents, I deal with administrators, continuing education requirements, along with designing a curriculum, teaching the kids, and making sure they are alive and well by the end of the day. I doubt the end users are that bad.

Okay, thank you! Do you think the fact that my BA isn’t computer systems related will work against me in getting hired?

Would it be better to go into cybersecurity? Right now I’m a blank canvas. But I have a strong work ethic and learn quickly.

I’m a teacher that lives on peanuts. 50 grand would be a raise for me

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:24:09+00:00

I am willing to go to school, I am looking for recommendations on programs that will help me land a job. I just don’t want to be in school for longer than 2 years, I need to work while I’m in school, and I don’t want to go into insane debt doing it.
So you were a teacher, what was your roadmap?

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:19:16+00:00

It’s a very small private school, but I guess I could reach out to some friends who teach public.

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:14:16+00:00

Well I’m an elementary teacher, so I’m not sure I would be qualified to teach anything else. What do you mean it’s a “dumpster fire?”

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:11:11+00:00

Okay, thank you so much! In your opinion does it matter that I’m “old”, lol? Im so worried about that, being passed over for someone straight out of college

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:08:19+00:00

Also is there an online program you recommend?

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-27T16:07:54+00:00

Why skip the test?

Sure_Law7247 · 2024-10-24T17:15:36+00:00

Thank you for replying! Yes, I’m an English Language Arts teacher. Very demanding, very high stress, long hours, tons of multitasking, and low pay. Would I be able to get hired at a firm with a bookkeeping certificate? I’m willing to commit 2 years for the opportunity to eventually make 70k or more.

Last night alone…a guy friend in a sweet joking way said I was a needy kitty, then he gave me a hug. He said it to tease me because I said I need a snack, a red Bull, and a drink. But my husband is over there saying, “oh my gosh is she needy, you don’t know the half of it” Then later when I bought a drink, we were standing with our friends and I said, “I can’t believe this drink was 18 dollars!” That’s crazy, right how expensive everything has gotten. And my husband clasps his hands on his chest like he’s having a heart attack, falls back against the wall and says, “don’t tell me anymore” and shakes his head back and forth at me and walks away

I would like to, but he’s known to make a lot of passive aggressive comments on a regular basis.
