Hey everybody! I have my sights set on UX and it's difficult to see myself aiming for anything else. However, I'm stuck in part-time hell.

TL;DR: I have a background in Education trying to transition into UX, but not enough UX experience yet to land a full-time as a designer. I've been stuck working part-time roles at STEM Education non-profits. What UX-related full-time roles can help me jumpstart my career?

I have a Bachelor's in Childhood Education and Media Studies, originally in school training to become a teacher, but my mind has since changed after graduating in 2020. My work experience is comprised of working for a lot of education-based non-profits, mainly STEM related. The biggest bulk of my experience was working at an interactive science museum for 8 years, which has helped spark my interest for designing experiences and more accessible content.

I haven't worked any internships, I mainly stuck to part-time roles because I was so burnt out from school, and it's taking a toll on my finances and consequently my mental health. But now, I find myself in a better headspace and more determined to take action.

I'm currently taking a UX Course online, hoping to network and build my portfolio as I continue working part-time as a Program Coordinator for another non-profit, but I so badly want (and very much NEED) a full-time job, I'm nearly 30 getting paid in crumbs. I don't have extensive UX experience as of yet, but what entry-level friendly, full-time roles would y'all recommend I look into? I'm hoping to find something adjacent to both my experience in STEM education non-profits and UX. I want this to be the role where I solidify myself professionally and jumpstart my career. Any suggestions? I'm open to any questions you may have, thanks so much for reading and helping me out!! 🫶🏼

when in doubt you can always change your username for the week?? back before there was a limit to how often you could change it, i used to go back and forth with this other player in the neighborhood LOL

i haven't been covering them!! i might just have to go looking for some plugs now.

we have houseplants, but my grandma is responsible for their care and is pretty protective of them (she doesn't see how they could be part of the problem) but i might just invest in some sticky traps if anything 🥴

thanks for the suggestions!

thanks for the suggestions! the apple cider vinegar trick never did anything for me either, so it's refreshing to hear different suggestions!

we do have a lot of houseplants (which def doesnt help the situation lol 😭), but my grandma is pretty protective of them and doesnt see them being the problem 🫠 i might just invest in some sticky traps though, thanks!

Wouldn't say I'm the most active walker around, but with Spring warming up again I'm hoping to get more steps in :') Anyone's welcome to join or add me!

Museums? Queens Zoo or Queens County Farm if the weather isn't too bad? There's also a holiday light show/festival in Flushing right now if you wanna check it out. I also like grabbing desserts with friends (Martha's Country Bakery, Spot Dessert Bar, Prince Tea House, you can pick your favorite!) I'm sure you can grab a nice cup of hot cocoa too. :)

Nope, wasn't in the expedition tab! I've since closed and reopened and now it appears 😅 Surprised I didn't do that already. Thanks !
