<prompt> Human: Without going into excruciating detail and writing a novel, please know that I have done an incredible amount of introspective thought and have tried working through this for nearly 5 years now and this seems to be the only option I have. Ive gone to my supervisors and am met with apathy. I simply cant do this for the rest of my life and come out the other end happy. I am pigeonholed in my current career zookeeper and my co-workers and management have killed all passion I had for this line of work. Basically, I hate coming into work now, some nights I cant even sleep dreading the next day. I need to change career paths but not sure of where to start. Im 31 and feel I need to take this step now rather than later while Im still youngish. Im married with no kids and have a BS in animal science with a minor in business. I cant take a step backwards financially and am enrolled in the student debt forgiveness program current job is a nonprofit so really cant switch careers for less than 75k a year or more. Im not opposed to taking classes but cant take on more student debt, but also cant afford to pay for a completely new degree out of pocket. My current gross income is 48k and I have a pretty nice benefit package which makes finding a new job difficult...I know this is super general but I appreciate any help I can get and will answer any questions I can. Im pretty open to new career paths, just need something with options for quick vertical growth. Also not opposed to careers that allow for telecommuting options. I do know I do not want anything in IT or software. Thanks for any guidance!Edit: the next closest zoo is 3 hours awayEdit 2: I know its asking a lot to switch without taking a financial hit. Basically, yes job sucks but not worth changing unless I make more. I think I may be asking for career options outside of the animal world that have high earning potentials.  <response>: You can switch careers pretty quickly if you dont mind making 20kyear Starbucks. But demanding 75k, entry level? Not gonna happen, even with a few years of school. Not even MDs make that initially. I cant take a step backwards financiallyWhy not? You dont have kids, so can live cheaply, and you have a roommate to split costs with.
