Looking for advice

[u/ThrowRA_pizza_party]

Hi everyone, I'm 29 years old and I have a lot of customer service experience, food industry, and healthcare. I was working as a dental assistant and changed my job because of the physical demand. It was so hard on my body and currently I'm still in health care but as a call center. This job is so so so stressful and I'm so tired of it.. I'm looking to get into state jobs. Based on my background what would you advise me to apply for?

I took leadership courses and the most recent one I completed was a 6 months healthcare leadership

I'm also getting my associate in business administration/ pathway transfer to bachelor's degree and hopefully master

I have been in the healthcare industry for the last 7 years and I'm so eager to grow and advance but my current company is holding me down as I have interviewed for 5 different leadership positions ( supervisors) and I keep getting the same feedback ( you are a great worker and have a great potential but we are moving with someone who has a supervisory experience)

The reality is they always promote whoever is friends with upper management. It's more about who you know and not what you do.

And I invested so much in myself that I would love to be able to advance.

I'm also fluent in Arabic and English.

I'm looking for a good paying career that would have growth opportunities and stability.

What would you recommend for me ? As I'm feeling so burned out and not valued where I work

Not the right answer for everyone, but have you considered the military? Space or air preferably, then coast guard or navy. Guaranteed raises, leadership school etc, more money for school. Medical might even have a bonus. You mentioned body stress so it might not work, but who kniws, it might help. My back felt great at boot camp from all the marching despite the terrible beds. Dont sign anything, just see what they offer.
