for anyone who's done it, how did you do it?

did you go back to school? study on your own in the morning/evening?

trying to figure out a new routine and switch career paths this year

think of it like you're starting a new game

Went back to school after I realized I hated trades. only had a year left

talked to career center counselors about wanting experience in the field, they told me the most profitable, just happened to love it

wasnt going to go all the way, just until I finished the undergrad. was interviewing with state organizations and offered jobs, was convinced to stick with the other field by supervisors and experiences in it

just try new things out. see what you like. never thought id fall into a career like this

i punched a co worker and then nearly died so that ended that

I went back to school but didn’t feel like waiting until I finished so I just created a new resume and catered it to the career I was studying for and got a job, had to nail the interview tho because applying for a job you have no experience in is not easy

great tips, but the last bit I think depends on the field. in some fields they seem to take anyone

He came back lookin to kill after the punch?

you mean that caused my nearly dying? no, but he did continue to harass me for the next year via text

happy for you brother.

how long was the whole journey for you from going back to school to getting a job in the field you want?

I mean starting in the field was like at the same exact time as I started school up again

getting the actual title I want first will be this fall (but will be the 4th Ive had here). but I went for a post grad degree after. so like 5 years almost

damn what they do?

i got walked out and put on emergency placement, but then won the battle w the union because i wasn’t in the wrong but it just so happened at the time i was in a hospital bed escaping death so they medically retired me

I quit then just applied. Experience trumps education in 2024

Right now I'm studying on my own time got a pretty stable job ..
I guess.

Im getting more looks from recruiters after getting certs, than when i graduated. Prolly will do more certs for 1 more year and then I'm out.

Anyone go from business a***ysis to like product management? Tryna make that switch

Occupation: hitman

I didn't. Sunk cost fallacy got me trapped in a career I hate everything about

Facts. I studied for 5 years because I thought taking an extra year and getting a whole extra degree out of it would benefit me. People who just did their law degree in 4 years still had an easier time finding work than I did

I hate trade work too tbh. Thinking about getting certs and doing programming or IT

I got a friend who did that

He now makes like 110k+ and this isn't an expensive area to live lol

Has a degree completely unrelated

pmo coach

I don't even know what certs he got. But he got lucky when Covid hit and was like recruited to run a huge system out here then most quit and he go a bunch of promotions and s***

Damn what’s a good place to start to get credentials?

Im sorry I got no clue
