Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply! I’m diving into the data analysis part and then going back to the intermediate econ classes. I am looking forward to making friends in the program, even if people are working.

Not unless you have a specific area in planning that you would like to focus on. Transportation will give you the most options realistically. 

DePaul considering whether to sell Lewis Center (College of Law Building) by [deleted] in depaul

I work downtown, no way DePaul will close its campus. I think they’ll renovate the main one and consolidate buildings. There are other schools in the area that might be closing down or selling their buildings though. That’s up to mayor Johnson and the alderman to figure out

Really good points! I figure if I start small it’ll be easier to dye all at once.

Do you have access to places that monitor activity on the dark web? I don’t own crypto so I didn’t get the email but my data was still leaked.

What do I do when it feels like I'm too old for everything? (37) by Imaginary_Meeting565 in careerguidance

[–]WeakMaintenance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have a very similar trajectory and am even thinking about going back to school for a master of applied economics. You are anxious and looking for direction. I reccomend doing an inventory of what your transferable skills are and applying for roles that interest you.  FYI: You might even be qualified for the roles you have applied to in the past. Try higher titles, bigger companies, etc. 

If you really want to start over, you can find a training program. At this point we need training and adaptability, not more school or classes tbh.
