<prompt> Human: Im 26, work as a speech language pathologist in a public school, and I earn 44,000 before taxes. I dont enjoy my job at all and my salary wont increase significantly unless I change settings. I looked at the salary schedule and it looks like even after I have 15 years experience my salary will not reach 50,000.I regret spending years of my life getting a masters degree in this field. I dont want to do direct patient care. I want a career in a field that I dont hate and I want to earn a higher salary.What are my options to maximize my earning potential? Does it make sense to use my savings to pursue another degree? Are there other jobs I can get without additional education? Are there certifications I can get to help me find a job with a higher salary? Has anyone been in a similar position or have any suggestions?Assistant: Have you considered a pivot to IT? System Administration is not a especially difficult, if you have an eye for problem solving. Entry barrier is also very low if you have in demand skill sets, which are constantly changing.Study up for a Security and an AWS cert and you will be very employable. Human: I hadnt considered it before because I dont have a degree in a related field. Will I get hired for jobs with the certifications even if I have no related experience?  <response>: I hadnt considered it before because I dont have a degree in a related field.
