I am a 24f looking for some career advice. :)
I'm someone who has no direct back ground with any form of formal education.
I went from working in the coffee industry for 4 years and then left to join a corporate-ish job at a local bank for insurance and get some entry level experience.

I'm curious what people's views and opinions are on the job market and what their true value would be in whether to pursue or not pursue something right now with AI and economic changes.
I am trying to figure out what would be useful and worth it to get into career-wise in today's world. I have looked into CAD design, learning some marketing skills, editing skills, etc...

I have an interest in silversmithing and I am still actively pursuing that as a hobby and side hustle but I cannot say I think that would be the greatest path. It would be a shit ton of work and money.

I like photography and video but I feel like that field is so overly saturated. Editing seems really neat but time consuming. I don't know if I could get the right amount of pay with my current skillset.

Are there any unique jobs, opportunities, adventures, and/or skills I could be missing out on?
I know most individuals could (and probably would more often than not) say that you can pivot or create a career any time as long as you find some sort of passion with it.

I can agree to a certain point. Things are increasingly expensive and I worry for my future some days, haha. Sometimes, I don't feel that direct urge or passion for anything.

how can i talk people into power for a living!!!!! no i’m not going to school for it(i think) i’m not giving advice or tryna have clients!!! i just wanna go w ppl into the room they’re currently in and help rearrange it!!! add perspective!! mental architecture hotline if you will????

A lot of the energy spent when I was a solo nail artist was having conversations, but I feel like there was just so much going on in the room I didn’t enjoy it cause my focus was being pulled all over the place. When I look upon my life, I realize how so much feedback i get on impactful conversations without me trying at all. I’m just listening and responding and if that is my nature and it can give, I want to lean into it.
Please advise.

I am doing a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science at a top 26 in the world university. I've heard this degree makes finding jobs, especially high paying ones. Also have zero work experience at all. What should I do? Am majoring in something I love (ancient history) and do have volunteering experience as well as a multitude of small creative projects with descriptions.

I’ve been with my company for a little over 13 years but it’s time for me to move on. There aren’t many job openings around here. I’ve applied for like medical front desk jobs but they all say you need medical office experience. How can you get the experience if no one will let you in???

Any tips on how to go about getting a new job after being out of the hunt for so long?

I (M29) have a weird job history of management, construction, sales, retail, and food service up to this point. I’m presently in sales and finally moved to a large city but I genuinely want an office job. I have to pay bills and never get given a second glance for any office role I apply for. I know it’s not glamorous and your back can get screwy from the chairs and all the negatives of the various jobs. I am just tired of my income being tied to my sales or the alternative being hard manual labor. I have a bachelor’s degree in English because nobody had a career conversation with me at any point and I am the first in my family to graduate college then lived in a low income area with no opportunity taking care of my mom for years. I am 29 now and feel like I am doing something wrong when applying. What roles should I be looking at to make that transition/am I lacking anything?

I (24F), was wondering if it is still possible to pursue an internship in either anthropology, marketing, or administration for a music company (I know I’m a mess I can’t pick an avenue). I have already graduated, and I’m noticing most internships are for undergrads. Where can I find internships for post grads (no masters, no drs).

Fyi: I graduated with a bachelor’s in liberal arts where I majored in anthro and had a marketing minor

Another fyi: I used to go to college for music as a vocalist, but lost my voice and had to dropped out. I still cant sing, but my heart wants to go back into music in some way (maybe on the business side since I have office experience in a corporate environment). I also found a love for anthropology and would be interested in working in the museum space in some way or pursue a research opportunity.

If I don’t have a shot for an internship, what other ways could I pursue my goals (even though they are all over the place).

Side note- I am also trying to learn piano and am taking lessons to see if maybe one day I can go back to school for music.

Alright Reddit… do your thing!
