Career Changes Support Group
This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new one. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the switch.
I have a strong passion for conventional and alternative medicine.
I had a breakthrough since I left the first post. I will be enrolling in an University in the Spring. My major is Psychology and Health Sciences. It seems like you have to have a college degree to really get the job you want these days.
Thanks for your support!

I feel ignorant, what do you mean by "conventional" and "alternative"... By the way... I'm studying psychology at a University in VA. We should have a chat

I understand your frustration about the degree thing...even with 5 years of college (but no degree due to transferring), employers seemed hesitant to go further due to a lack of a degree. Frankly, I think real life experience is of higher priority, but like you're finding out, the rest of the world is very fixated on degrees. Going back to school is a great thing, way to go and good luck!!

Have you taken an interest inventory or a skills assessment yet?

If it matches then either considering education or what you can do- pharm tech is typically an OJT position, sometimes caregivers do not have to be certified- also in my state CNA liscense is a short term way to get into the field of nursing, then the classes to LPN can get you further while you work- about a 2 year project though...
