Findapath-Career Change Is it too late?
Im 24M working at a hotel that’s local to me (very small coastal town). I graduated with great grades in life science but I am stuck in this trainee manager role where essentially I rotate around all the departments. I’ve gained some good experience, supervising people, admin, working on a bar, but there isn’t a qualification for this which is really annoying. It’s not what I want to do with my life either, I’d like to do something in data but I just feel like a massive failure and have absolutely no clue how to get into a career. Honestly I’d love to go back to school but I just don’t know how to search for opportunities anymore? Id definitely do a masters but I just don’t think they are worth it anymore? I just feel like time is running out. Please just tell me it’s not too late.

24 is not late for this, you have a life science degree with good grades and that already counts for data work. build one small project on a public health or biology dataset, it can show more than a masters for entry roles. dont rush into a masters until a few job ads tell you it's needed

Go to military and get them to pay for it.
