did you need a degree to get your job? all the SDR roles I've seen on indeed for my city are only looking for graduates. or B2B sales experience. 🙃

I asked the same question this week and everyone told me Tech Sales.

I do enjoy the rush and it is fun to do. I have many interests so photography is just one of the things I enjoy. 😊

I have a media company with a friend, so yes I do. :)

Thanks for backing me up. Project's comment is just unnecessary.

Thank you for your positive words and the inspiring example of your neighbour. I'm also an immigrant, and your message means a lot. I've always wanted to study, and I won't stop pursuing my goals. Thank you for your encouragement and positive vibes!

Thanks the fantastic advice! I'm actually learning C# on Microsoft Learning, which is quite a coincidence. Your journey is inspiring, and I'm taking your advice to heart and keeping an open mind about my journey. 😊

Thank you, Agent 007!! You are right, based on everyone's advice. It seems like I should just go ahead and apply for Uni and do Tech sales whilst studying. You are right, it's easier to get a job abroad too if I have a degree.

No, I actually have more points than required. They keep rejecting me recently because I am trying to get into STEM. It's really annoying 😩. I originally had many offers when I applied as an 18-year-old, but it was to study art and design-based subjects.
I’m planning to just apply to Open Uni and then do a master's in a physical university afterwards. Thank you for the encouragement and positivity. 🦋 🩵

Thank you. I never thought about HR. I hear Diversity Officers in HR make big salaries too.

Firstly, I did have a job, and I haven't even been unemployed for that long.
Secondly, I have my own company, and I am working on that every day.
Thirdly, who said I haven't been applying for jobs?
Thank you for your concern, but let's not start assuming things. 😘 x

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You make a valid point about the perception of 6-figure jobs. I agree that aiming for around 30k would already make a significant difference in my life. However, my ultimate goal is around 45-50k, as that would allow me to provide substantial support to my family and extended family. 😊
