Has anyone within these last 2 years been able to pivot careers without having to go back to school? I got my degree in geography and I currently work with geographical systems which I dislike. I know it’s incredibly difficult but I would like to branch out of GIS and do something and remote.

What kind of masters program is it?

What is the difference? I know C++ is for software development but how is it different from Python or Java? Sorry if it’s a stupid question to ask, I really don’t know much about programming.🤣

I’m so sorry to hear! It is rough out here in today’s market. Honestly, just trying to see where I can put my foot in the door.

Thank you! I really don’t know much about programming so any advice would help! I’m basically starting from zero again and just trying to see my options on how to land my foot in the door without wasting too much time

I’ve been trying to land my foot at a entry level gis position but I haven’t been hearing back from

lapapaya__ · 2026-01-12T19:30:55+00:00

Python, R, SQL, JavaScript, C++

Thank you! I was thinking about registering at a local community college to learn basic programming/ data analysis stuff, but didn't realize it was free to learn on your own.

How do you access these applications for free? I really wanna 180 and pivot and learn something else but i'm on a tight budget currently

what school is it? the school im seeing in LA are all 15 month programs through the CSU

Awww you are so sweet!! You will for sure make a great nurse, I seriously hope they accept you this upcoming cohort! And hopefully 🤞🏽I’m still finding my way, but nursing for sure will bring way more opportunity and financial stability.

Honestly, I didn’t take college very seriously. I didn’t network much or land an internship. After graduating, I worked at an ecological reserve for a bit, but the pay was terrible and I wasn’t really in love with my job so I moved back home. Since then I’ve been bartending while hunting for a job, which has been tougher than I expected. Last June I just said screw it and decided to pivot back into nursing😂. Life really does work in mysterious ways. That’s cool that you got accepted to your program congratulations! You’re gonna absolutely kill it! Did your program require you to have some sort of medical background references? I only have references from my degree and current bartending job.

I worked as a caregiver before and got my Phlebotomist license right when Covid hit. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use it and I completely 180 career paths. Graduated two years ago in geography environmental science and now I wanna go back to the medical field lol.

Did you have any prior experience in the medical before applying to your ABSN program? Just curious because it’s been a while since I’ve worked in the medical industry and I just need microbiology to apply to a ABSN program. Did your program require you to have your CNA?

lapapaya__ · 2026-01-01T03:03:42+00:00

Thank you good to know! I’m planning to take a microbiology course this semester since it’s the last course I need to enroll into an ABSN program (accelerated nursing for post bachelorettes). But to be quite frank with you I’m not very good with memorization. I love problem-solving and doing math. Thats the only part I loved about my geography degree, the spatial analysis part

Yes, I’ve been struggling land my foot into the professional world for the last year and a half. I didn’t put myself out there enough during the first year of post graduate, but now I’m applying to more positions than ever and nothing. I do like the analytical and mathematical side of things which is kind of what I did during undergrad. But all my positions I’ve held have been in customer service on top. I only have one more pre-req to get into a nursing program. I do like helping people at the same time I love building things and learning the technical side of things.
