2nw32k | How did you decide? | Hey guys So right now I m in a bit of a conundrum. Soon I m going to be graduating with my BS in Psychology and I m not sure what I want to do with my life any more.

r6gsci | Is going from data science to business analyst a wise move? | Hello everyone I am a data science consultant with 4 years of experience and a technical master s degree. I am considering a role as business analyst at a very nice company. I am wondering if its OK to make this switch and keep my career in data science alive. There seem to be good opportunities for career rotation within the company and I can hope to eventually get to a data science role. I also have a decent salary hike. I have strong skills but seem to lack the experience to find a data science position at a great company.

I am from the United States hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering and also have ~3 years experience as a Manufacturing Engineer. I have worked on CAD design projects cost estimation quoting product flow cost reduction and time saving analysis etc. When the pandemic started I was able to work from home for a full year.

I would like to get back to working from home which my current company will not allow I would be open to almost any kind of work from home job that requires little to no travel and pays similarly to my current position ~$30 hr.

pnl4b1 | What is a good field that pays decent with low-barriers for entry? | Just to be clear it s not that I don t want to put in any work it s that I am making so little that I can t even afford to live with a roommate despite working 40+ hours a week. Background: I m a 28 yo female with 7+ years experience working as a supervisor in retail. The pay was good at first but didn t keep up with minimum wage increases. I make more bussing tables now. I am pursuing my degree in rangeland ecology. I have an active internship with the feds that should yield me a job or at least a few years of experience by the time I m done with my degree. My problem here is A) my grades suck because I m so exhausted. I literally don t get a day off. B) I can only take part time jobs so my wages suck C) at the end I ll probably only bring make 30k and living in a super rural town. Which I don t want to do. I guess I m looking for that unicorn job that will land me a good balance between wages and flexibility so I can live my life. A remote job would be tits. Strengths: I m a good multitasker and I excel at creative solutions once I get a feel for my environment. Weaknesses: I m not diagnosed but I m pretty sure I m autistic or something. Socially I try and can cover it up sometimes but it s a struggle (I wouldn t do well in sales). I m also a bad driver so a class a b is out of the question. I do enjoy physical labor but I m a 4 11” woman so I question my ability to land a job that is very physical in nature. The only thing I ve found that really appealed to me was UX UI design but upon further research I ve found that entry- level jobs are crazy saturated.

xlg5cw | My boss tried to kiss me at a work event and now has started excluding me from every project. Is there anything I can do? | I [20sF ] have been working with my boss [late 40s F ] for about a year and a half now. We didn t meet in person until about 4 months ago as our jobs are remote and we are based in different cities but we always had great rapport. I looked up to her and considered her a mentor. NGL as a lesbian I also had a little crush on her which I 100% never expected to act on because she s my boss and also married to a man so didn t figure there was any possibility of her being into me anyway Anyway 4 months ago we went to a conference. There was a lot of chemistry between us but again I didn t think too much of it for the above reasons. The last night of the conference we had a team dinner where we both a bit to drink and long story short at the end of the night we were chatting just the two of us outside the hotel and she tried to kiss me. I immediately backed off like “Woah!” and told her I m sorry if she misread things but she is married and I don t think this is a good idea. She apologized. It was very awkward although I tried to play it cool. I didn t see her the next day as we both flew home. Anyway ever since then she has completely started excluding me from work assignments and meetings. I used to be basically her right hand man now she schedules most of the meetings without me and doesn t add me on CC to emails so I can t participate. Any work she does give me is unimportant and uninteresting. It definitely feels like she s punishing me. I requested two separate meetings to tell her that I needed more work and asking how I could better support the team on various projects we re working on (tried to play it like she must just not have noticed that I ve been less busy recently) and she gave various excuses why she s assigned other team members to lead these projects. She promised she would find more for me to do but has yet to do so. I ve offered to support on a few things I know my team members are busy with but again excuses about why I can t be added to the project. It s kind of hard to discuss this with other colleagues since we re all remote so it s not like I can casually bring it up in conversation (our meetings we just talk about work and it s always in larger groups). I ve never met any of them and don t feel comfortable enough in our relationship to reach out and ask what they think of this situation. I don t know what to do. This feels like retaliation but I have no evidence of anything. She is highly respected and regarded in our company and I don t think anyone would believe me if I told them about the kiss attempt. Do I just have to accept that this is the end of my time at this company and it s time to job hunt? Any advice of what I could do? Would really appreciate the perspective of an outsider here. Edit: I ve been trying to respond to comments but for some reason my comments don t seem to be appearing in the thread I have no idea why. Just want to say a few things: (1) Thank you all for your supportive and kind comments you ve made me feel a lot better about the whole situation. I was partially blaming myself cos I did have a crush on her which she probably noticed otherwise she wouldn t have tried to kiss me. I genuinely never tried to flirt with her but still could ve made her feel led on. Anyway I m now feeling even if I had flirted with her in her position she should know better than to do that. (2) I am based in WA and she is based in CA. Our company is based in CA. (3) to the commenters saying I now have a cushy job coasting - that s kind of the approach I ve taken to it the past 4 months but it s getting old now and I am a career-driven person and I feel this is holding me back. I was hoping there d be some way to make things go back to normal but the general consensus seems to be I have to find a new job so I am now working on updating my resume. (4) I don t want to go to HR because I just have a very hard time believing they ll believe me. She s been with this company her whole career over twenty years has a stellar reputation and in general doesn t give the impression she would do something like that. Plus a part of me feels like us both being women will make this seem even less credible. Somehow if it were a man I think this accusation would be taken more seriously. (5) Requesting footage is a good idea which I hadn t considered and will try tho like many said it seems unlikely they would just hand it over like that (6) Also to clarify we weren t wasted. Just had a couple glasses of wine and feeling a buzz. Definitely don t think it s a good idea to get wasted at a company event. Anyway thank you all for the advice you ve helped me see this situation more clearly and understand what I need to do next.

y1wne3 | How do I help my subordinate who I know is being targeted in the company because of office politics? | Hi I am a manager with 10 subordinates who report to me. However off late shit has hit the fan after I have noticed someone in my team being targeted. Lets call this person Andy. My team is responsible for supporting many other teams and also often working with them . I have another colleague who I have been working with for a year and lets call her Karen. Over the last one year Karen has moved up the chain and is currently a manager just like me. However over the last one year I have seen a rift between Karen and Andy multiple times. Say for instance Karen has shouted at Andy multiple times on the floor in front of everyone which reduced him to tears. Words like ARE YOU STUPID EVEN SOMEONE IN THE NURSERY CAN GET THIS RIGHT . I have warned Karen multiple times to which she apologized and even got coffee for Andy. But here is where things are getting worse. Karen recently got promoted and now she is doing everything in her power to point out mistakes in Andy. She keeps a close eye and tries to create errors even if there are none. I have escalated this matter and after doing this over 3 times to the HR and my boss I have realized that Karen is favored. The boss does not want to hear anything bad about Karen and off late I noticed that the boss and Karen are now GYM buddies. So me throwing anything at him gets deflected as the boss gives her full autonomy. Today things got worse as Karen once again tried to embarrass Andy in front of the boss. But this time as soon as the boss left the meeting for a call and Andy lost it. He brought forward proofs backing that it was not his fault. Realizing what s going on me and my team backed Andy. Andy was arguing with tears the whole time. To this Karen replied I don t give a damn what you think If you have a problem go to the boss I DONT CARE . She knows that now that I and she have equal roles and that I cannot directly remand her. Karen is now giving me warnings that if I keep supporting Andy she s going to come after me. Andy has been crying for the last one hour. Everyone in my team knows that there is politics in place. But I am feeling powerless to help. I am trying to comfort Andy right now. What do I do? This happened just an hour back and any input would really help me as I really want to help Andy? | 2022-10-12 06:52:10 | https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/y1wne3/how_do_i_help_my_subordinate_who_i_know_is_being/ | 2022-11-09 23:39:31 | how do i help my subordinate who i know is being targeted in the company because of office politics hi i am a manager with 10 subordinates who report to me however off late shit has hit the fan after i have noticed someone in my team being targeted lets call this person andy my team is responsible for supporting many other teams and also often working with them i have another colleague who i have been working with for a year and lets call her karen over the last one year karen has moved up the chain and is currently a manager just like me however over the last one year i have seen a rift between karen and andy multiple times say for instance karen has shouted at andy multiple times on the floor in front of everyone which reduced him to tears words like are you stupid even someone in the nursery can get this right i have warned karen multiple times to which she apologized and even got coffee for andy but here is where things are getting worse karen recently got promoted and now she is doing everything in her power to point out mistakes in andy she keeps a close eye and tries to create errors even if there are none i have escalated this matter and after doing this over 3 times to the hr and my boss i have realized that karen is favored the boss does not want to hear anything bad about karen and off late i noticed that the boss and karen are now gym buddies so me throwing anything at him gets deflected as the boss gives her full autonomy today things got worse as karen once again tried to embarrass andy in front of the boss but this time as soon as the boss left the meeting for a call and andy lost it he brought forward proofs backing that it was not his fault realizing what s going on me and my team backed andy andy was arguing with tears the whole time to this karen replied i don t give a damn what you think if you have a problem go to the boss i dont care she knows that now that i and she have equal roles and that i cannot directly remand her karen is now giving me warnings that if i keep supporting andy she s going to come after me andy has been crying for the last one hour everyone in my team knows that there is politics in place but i am feeling powerless to help i am trying to comfort andy right now what do i do this happened just an hour back and any input would really help me as i really want to help andy | 1 | Workplace Challenges and Conflicts | 18,190 |
983gm9 | Where to start when thinking of a new career? | I ve been working in IT for the last few years and before that I was in the military for about a decade in a mechanical field. I m not happy where I am. I don t hate it. I just don t get a lot of satisfaction. Part of it is I don t like working in a corporate environment. I work in a credit union and while it s technically not-for-profit it certainly has become more like a bank. I want to help others more directly. Preferably I d like to work in a non-profit. I wouldn t mind staying in IT but I want to explore other options also. I ve tried to think about what skills I can take. I m good at IT but not because I m good at computers. I ve realized I m good with problem solving. So even though I would say I m mediocre at computers per se I am good with figuring things out on a cerebral level (did ok with mechanical but my brain works better at more thinking things I guess is how I would describe it). I m good with looking at data and being able to translate that into something useful even if I don t know what the data is for initially. I ve also been that person that people seem to come to for everything. For instance my father-in-law has been struggling with some things. He constantly comes to me for advice. My sister-in-law (among others) constantly asks me how to do things that I have no idea about (the latest being registering an LLC and getting a Tax ID and so on and so forth). I always take the challenge do the research and am able to get the answers. If I don t know what life advice to give (as in the case of my FIL) I ask the person to let me think on it and then maybe research it and think of how what I found applies to that particular situation and then passes that information on to them. I m finally finishing my degree. I m at a point where I need to make a decision on major. Originally I was going for religion because I plan on getting a theology degree after. But I m also considering psychology based on some advice I got a long time ago when I was strongly considering going into ministry. It s surfacing again because of how the people seeking advice has ratcheted up. Anyway lots of background. The point is I find myself in a situation where I feel that I could jump into many jobs and problem solve my way into doing a good job (especially office thinking analyzing jobs). So I want to start looking at what I can do instead of IT to help people more directly (what keeps me going in my current job is thinking about how what I do helps even if indirectly). But I don t know how I make a career jump like that especially considering salary. I m in a senior position and by the time I am prepared to make the jump (just started here so don t want to jump jobs that quickly) I ll be making even more. Money isn t everything but asking my family to be okay with a $50k pay cut isn t really far to them either. So I guess I m just looking for advice. How does one make a jump like that and how do you market those skills to be able to say Hey I don t know x but my strengths mean I have the ability to learn it quickly. And furthermore how do I figure out what I would even enjoy doing or be really good at? Because I can be good at a lot but how do I know what I have a real knack for...what I would be really good at.

ylmo68 | Should I talk to manager A about manager B being abusive? | Manager B is not very likeable and I ve heard from a few people that they would never work for him. Manager B sent this email in a bad tone (words in red bold underlines etc) to a group of people myself included... and some time later he apologizes saying that manager A (more senior and way more likeable than B) corrected him on using the red color and everything. I felt inclined to have a private conversation with manager A about B - I ve seen a couple of other bad behaviors (from B) that are just abusive unprofessional and made people uncomfortable. Could this back fire on me? If I ask mgr. A to remain anonymous would him honor that? or should I just stay quiet?

zyt9de | In my senior year of high school and unsure of what career path i should pursue? | As the title reads I m 17 and in my senior year and am already accepted into a college. When i first started looking at careers i thought of getting a MBA. Unfortunately i was not accepted as my ACT score was one point to low so i decided to retake it this year. Failed it again even with tutoring and self help for it. Another thing about the MBA is i don t truly have a clue what business i would create. Now I m looking at either a career in real estate where i could just earn my license and work with a family relative at their very successful company and be successful that way. However my new interest is in therapy. This is where i m so conflicted. I would like to lean more into psychotherapy that way i could own my own practice as well as make a difference in others lives in a meaningful way. The other thing i like about psychology is the study of the brain. While i would love to pursue this degree i fear that the course will be to challenging. My college would be all paid for. With that in mind should i be looking at other careers. Im not discouraged by any careers. if anyone could help me with guidance it d be greatly appreciated | 2022-12-30 06:29:42 | https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/zyt9de/in_my_senior_year_of_high_school_and_unsure_of/ | 2023-01-08 09:15:23 | in my senior year of high school and unsure of what career path i should pursue as the title reads i m 17 and in my senior year and am already accepted into a college when i first started looking at careers i thought of getting a mba unfortunately i was not accepted as my act score was one point to low so i decided to retake it this year failed it again even with tutoring and self help for it another thing about the mba is i don t truly have a clue what business i would create now i m looking at either a career in real estate where i could just earn my license and work with a family relative at their very successful company and be successful that way however my new interest is in therapy this is where i m so conflicted i would like to lean more into psychotherapy that way i could own my own practice as well as make a difference in others lives in a meaningful way the other thing i like about psychology is the study of the brain while i would love to pursue this degree i fear that the course will be to challenging my college would be all paid for with that in mind should i be looking at other careers im not discouraged by any careers if anyone could help me with guidance it d be greatly appreciated | 5 | Career Transition to Psychology | 19,338 |

um6izn | I recently graduated with Bachelors in Environmental Studies at 28. Entry level jobs and requirements or career advice for someone trying to be a soil agricultural scientist? | I was forced to drop out of college at 22 due to homelessness. I came back at 26 finished my last two years. I wanted to change it to more hard science environmental science classes but I had limited funds. I do have a Botany minor. I have straight A s in my last 2 years. The pandemic has greatly impacted job and volunteer opportunities. I have references and letters of recommendations. I just lack an understanding of where to go from here. Any perspective and advice is greatly appreciated. 1. Would going to graduate school help expand my networking experience options? Professors seemed very supportive of it and that it would help me but I am unsure of how to prepare for it without previous specific job experience. Would I need that? 2. Any general suggestions for an older person starting a new career path? My previous experience has been farm car-based gig work and my online art business. 3.

nf532z | Is my superior being rude? What should I do? | Hello! So I am going to post here because I don t know other subreddits that might help. Anyway I work at a multinational company and so many of us are from different countries. My superior (who s way above me) sent me an email this morning. He explained why I was not allowed any access on the files I had been incessantly asking for access yesterday. It was a nice email and so I replied nicely as well. I told him I understand and explained that my colleague (same position) had access to the files that s why I was asking for access. Also my supervisor put that link on a checklist that I need to accomplish within the week. (I am new to the job and I was told to just ask for access when I can t get through links which I did. I just followed basic protocol.) I find his response rude. He said this: > AGAIN no one has access to the team and the folders without proper onboarding!!! I hope I am clear on this. > > If your “supervisor” puts a link on your checklist and your colleague has access to it then maybe [NAME ] shared specific access to that file. > > Since she is not around then send me the link and I can provide you with access as well.

mkhnd0 | Should quit my job and take an internship in a related field which I have no professional experience in? | A little bit of background I m a software engineer who just graduated college in 2020 working in a consultancy and I m currently doing a project which is kinda sucky with no real benefits for my long term growth. I m supposed to be doing backend development but realised along the way that I would like to try front end development instead. I initially chose to do backend development because that s what I was most confident in. This is due to all my programming experiences being backend related - I have no professional experience in front end development. There are two ways I m considering to make the switch to front end development: 1) wait for my current project to end and hope my next project given by my current consultancy will allow me to work on front end skills. I don t really like this idea cause it feels like a huge gamble - I don t know when my current project will end and I don t know if I will even get a project I like (some colleagues from other projects have really bad projects to work on) 2) apply for entry front end positions in other companies while working on a personal portfolio. I m currently taking this approach but I m not sure if its the best way to go about doing this - as mentioned I don t have much professional experience doing front end work just learning this stuff from udemy. I have created some personal projects but I don t think they are impressive enough to land me a full time job in front end development. 3) look for a front end developer internship (6 months or more). If I get something good quit my job and take the internship (my current employer doesn t allow me to do part time internships). - I m thinking this will boost my resume in terms of front end development experience which might open doors for full time positions or a return offer. Hope you guys could offer some perspective and advice. Thanks!

y309ek | How to switch career paths when you have no Idea what else to do? | I ve been a social worker for the last 9 years - in school shelter and hospital settings. There have been many moments of joy and I ve learned immensely from working with trauma survivors. I m also burned out. I find myself dreading coming in. I m less sexual and scared to date because I work with crime victims and hear horrible stories. There s all this talk about self-care in the field yet if you cry at work you re seen as not strong enough for the work. So many of my coworkers abuse alcohol and pot. On top of it all we constantly have to justify the need for social services because we don t bring money to the hospital. It s all exhausting. The systems that impact our patients have always been heavy and now I feel my foot getting stuck under that weight too. My primary question is: how do you transition out of one type of field into another? I honestly have no idea what to do. I m creative bad with numbers interested in people - but stuck on where else to turn. My identity has been wrapped up in social work. I wonder how have others broken free and joined a completely different career?

lj78ku | I was left out in call-outs in a big win at work. This person has a history of doing this to woman. Should I say something? | I work in consulting. We just won a deal at work that I participated...actually...I played a key role in the written response and the presentation. But I was the only presenter who didn t get a call-out and I was the only woman who presented. Another woman who worked on the project also wasn t mentioned at all. And this is not the first time the same sales person ignores women on his accounts. He missed out another woman from our team for a longggg time who takes a leading position on another account. I don t care about this particular sales person but I don t want leaders in the email chain think that this success was created by men and men only. Neither of the leaders have any direct impact on my career but both of them have a huge impact on hundreds of women s careers. If perception is reality this is not working for changing the reality for women at work. Both my boss and his boss already gave me credit for this win so I don t need to say anything for myself. But if everyone thinks this way who would speak up? And how would the perception and then the consequential reality ever get changed? I was thinking jokingly respond saying “hey don t forget that women contributed to the win” or “I have to join the cheering or it sounded this was a all-men success or men-only club” something like that. But I was told by my mentor to talk to that sales person directly who I don t know and probably doesn t like me based on our interactions. And this is the first time I ever interact with him. I have very good reputation at work so I don t need this recognition. Again my boss knows it s me who did the work and he is also mad that this guy didn t give me a call out and this guy did the same for another woman on our team on another project. I don t need to do this for myself but I just feel I have the responsibility as mid-senior level woman to speak up and I am safe enough at work to do something despite small to call for awareness of women being invisible... | 2021-02-13 19:26:15 | https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/lj78ku/i_was_left_out_in_callouts_in_a_big_win_at_work/ | null | i was left out in call-outs in a big win at work this person has a history of doing this to woman should i say something i work in consulting we just won a deal at work that i participated actually i played a key role in the written response and the presentation but i was the only presenter who didn t get a call-out and i was the only woman who presented another woman who worked on the project also wasn t mentioned at all and this is not the first time the same sales person ignores women on his accounts he missed out another woman from our team for a longggg time who takes a leading position on another account i don t care about this particular sales person but i don t want leaders in the email chain think that this success was created by men and men only neither of the leaders have any direct impact on my career but both of them have a huge impact on hundreds of women s careers if perception is reality this is not working for changing the reality for women at work both my boss and his boss already gave me credit for this win so i don t need to say anything for myself but if everyone thinks this way who would speak up and how would the perception and then the consequential reality ever get changed i was thinking jokingly respond saying hey don t forget that women contributed to the win or i have to join the cheering or it sounded this was a all-men success or men-only club something like that but i was told by my mentor to talk to that sales person directly who i don t know and probably doesn t like me based on our interactions and this is the first time i ever interact with him i have very good reputation at work so i don t need this recognition again my boss knows it s me who did the work and he is also mad that this guy didn t give me a call out and this guy did the same for another woman on our team on another project i don t need to do this for myself but i just feel i have the responsibility as mid-senior level woman to speak up and i am safe enough at work to do something despite small to call for awareness of women being invisible | 1 | Workplace Challenges and Conflicts | 11,446 |

As my kids get a bit older I m looking to try something fresh in my career that enables me to be home with them for dinner and for evenings while still spending time one on one with people as part of my career and just being of use and helpful in society. Finances are not my main concern although I d like to earn some kind of wage. I would be aiming for part time work only. For those who have experience in social work what has your experience been? Is it possible to work part time? This would mean my going back to school for one year to add a bachelor of social work onto the fine arts & psychology degree I already have.

6twu5k | Should I go into Data Analytics or Law? | Throw away because I have co-worker who is on Reddit like it s his job. Back-story: I m an early to mid twenty year old male who just completed his first year out of school working as a quality and efficiency engineer at a medium sized manufacturing plant. I graduated from an Ivy League school with a 3.38 GPA and a B.S in physics and Mechanical engineering. In some aspects this job has been pretty great. The pay was great at helping me pay off my student loans completely helped me make a lot of progress on my car loan and allowed me to put away enough savings that I could handle all my current expenses for 3 months. The position itself has been educational in terms of how to be a good employee how to take initiative and tons of manufacturing specific practical knowledge. There is one down side I hate the industry and want to make a switch. Moving Forward: I ve decided I would like to either go into data analytics or law (patent attorney specifically). I have always been interested in both of these professions however early in college I decided on the manufacturing path and decided to see that decision through despite having doubts (whoops). Obviously this is going to be a big switch and getting into either is going to take a lot of time and effort. I have already done my due diligence on how to enter these professions the watered down version of what I found is as follows. For data analytics I would have to become proficient on my own with Python R and SQL at a minimum. I have experience with all three but at a very basic level. I would also have to complete a “micro degree” course on the topic. Then I would have to get an entry level job and move forward from there. To pursue a career as an attorney I would have to start by studying for the LSAT (took a practice test under test conditions and got a 162) get into law school go to law school for 3 years pass the bar and then get hired at a firm clerkship. I m almost ready really to start investing my time and effort (and eventually a pay cut) into perusing one of these careers. The problem is I can t decide which one. After spending 5 years training to work in manufacturing only to realize it is not for me has completely robbed me of my confidence.

abvppd | [27F] Back to college after 8 years Graphic Design is my passion how can I make the most out of my education to benefit my future career? | So in February I ended up having to move back home. Graphic Design has been a passion of mine since about freshman year in high school... I got my first copy of Photoshop from a friend and I fell in love. I drew a lot when I was young painted for a while but never considered myself an artist as I have never really stuck with it. When I got back home to the parents I got a job at a t-shirt shop as a full-time Graphic Designer. I loved what I did and was told I was good at what I did but felt limited as I was basically instructed to just copy other designs. I quit pretty quickly and decided to get a Bachelor s. I m currently at a community college and have decided that although Graphic Designers don t make much (unless you freelance) that I would be wasting my life my passion and my parent s money if I majored in anything else (I was considering Computer Science I like math but no lol). I ve learned that in order to get accepted into a Graphic Design program you need a portfolio and while I ve done a few things here and there on and off kind of not seriously I don t have anything worth putting in a portfolio. I m considering taking a full semester of art classes so that I can get back into drawing & designing on a regular basis but it would prolong my degree. Would this be a smart decision? What can I do to improve my chances of success and get the most out of this degree? I m fully aware of the average salary of Graphic Designers. Is there anything I can minor in that would help? Like marketing social psychology advertising something like that? How can I improve my chances? & #x200B Is there anyone who has majored in Graphic Design? What was your process and how did you get admitted? Is it difficult? | 2019-01-02 17:52:21 | https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/abvppd/27f_back_to_college_after_8_years_graphic_design/ | 2019-03-14 14:58:14 | 27f back to college after 8 years graphic design is my passion how can i make the most out of my education to benefit my future career so in february i ended up having to move back home graphic design has been a passion of mine since about freshman year in high school i got my first copy of photoshop from a friend and i fell in love i drew a lot when i was young painted for a while but never considered myself an artist as i have never really stuck with it when i got back home to the parents i got a job at a t-shirt shop as a full-time graphic designer i loved what i did and was told i was good at what i did but felt limited as i was basically instructed to just copy other designs i quit pretty quickly and decided to get a bachelor s i m currently at a community college and have decided that although graphic designers don t make much unless you freelance that i would be wasting my life my passion and my parent s money if i majored in anything else i was considering computer science i like math but no lol i ve learned that in order to get accepted into a graphic design program you need a portfolio and while i ve done a few things here and there on and off kind of not seriously i don t have anything worth putting in a portfolio i m considering taking a full semester of art classes so that i can get back into drawing designing on a regular basis but it would prolong my degree would this be a smart decision what can i do to improve my chances of success and get the most out of this degree i m fully aware of the average salary of graphic designers is there anything i can minor in that would help like marketing social psychology advertising something like that how can i improve my chances x200b is there anyone who has majored in graphic design what was your process and how did you get admitted is it difficult | 2 | Career Change for Non-Corporate Artist | 4,429 |

9m9pjo | Recently returned to the U.S. is there a career transition or career for me? | I read through some of the posts and there are helpful people here. I truly hope someone might offer me some good advice so that I can find some direction. I will try to keep this as brief as possible but I do have to mention some personal things relevant to potential advice. I have a BFA with a double major in art and English. I thought I would be an art professor at a university so I decided to keep going and earned a MFA in art. However after I finished my MFA I was in a lot of debt and hated adjunct teaching. I was offered a graphic design job and I took it almost exclusively for economic reasons. I had no formal graphic design training it was a skill I picked up doing work for professors in grad school. Anyway they liked my work enough to give me a chance and I was there for 5 years. I have most of that work somewhere for a portfolio but I have no portfolio assembled at the moment. Anyway during that time I met a woman and we ended up dating for a long while and she asked me to move to Japan with her (at the time she was a Japanese international student). We moved to Japan and I started teaching English (ESL at a high school). We had been together for about 4 years in Japan before we broke off our relationship. In addition to many issues there was an odd irony that she hated Japan and I actually liked my life and work enough to stay for another 3 years. Now after 7 years I had to quit my position in Japan and returned to the states due to family issues. I ve been here for about 3 months and things are starting to settle down and issues with my mother are moving along. I m near the point where I need to decide what to do. At this point *I do not want to move back to Japan.* It s time to do something permanent and get my life stable. I find myself perplexed as to what I should do or how to even begin. I have never done a job search from one thing to the next I ve simply accepted whatever was offered to me. I m not even sure what career is viable to me. **A few things:** I m very comfortable working with ESL students and very capable organizing programs curriculum for international students. This has been my most current job but honestly I have no idea how to apply it to a job in the U.S. Most of the ESL positions I ve seen require a Masters in TESOL or a certificate which I don t have. I have no formal ESL education. I m somewhat comfortable doing graphic design work. I ve used these skills extensively during my time and work in Japan. Mostly creating lesson worksheets brochures posters and various promotional pieces for the school I worked at. However I think the profession has advanced much further than my experience. I also do not have a graphic design degree I have a fine arts MFA which I m not sure “translates” to employers. I did have a full time graphic design position for 5 years but that was 7 years ago. I also do not currently have a portfolio and am uncertain in what form I should create one. I m far more interested in teaching high school over college. Perhaps 5-12 Language Arts or English or even art or art education. However I need a teaching certificate and I don t know how to go about doing that. I m 38 years old and I don t know if I really want to go back to school for many more years. So that s where I m at.

brwqtc | 27 year old carpenter with back issues. Please help. Where do I go from here? | Hey guys. I ve been around on my normal account (which I was silly and included my name) for just over 3 years and am FINALLY posting for the first time. This account has been created to finally look for guidance regarding some serious issues I have going on. I ll give some background info. I m an apprentice carpenter in Canada. I havent even done my first term in school. I m 27 years old. I ve been in the trade for 4 or so years but was offered a position with a new company around 1.5 years ago. This position gave me the option to become an apprentice and get some post secondary schooling in. Now coming out of high school I had two ideas in mind. Personal training (or something similar) and joining the local police force. I did the generic commercial gym personal trainer gig for just over a year. Left when it became apparent the gym I was working for based all success off of sales and numbers. That couldn t have clashed with my personality more. Since then I ve gone through many different jobs. Electrician environmental abatement nightstick custom woodworking landscaping etc. All jobs that dont need post secondary. I found carpentry and essentially settled into a mindset of it s fine I ll make decent money and get out one day to do something I truly enjoy . This has pretty well resulted in me being completely miserable. I knew I needed out. As if I needed anymore of a push to get out in February of this year I took a spill on an icy morning getting out of the work van. I had time off and when I came back it was to modified duties . We re now in May and I m still having periods of pinching and have missed more than enough days here and there. I ve been looking to go back to school for something to do with say physio training nutrition kin or something in that field. My high school marks weren t great. I will probably need to upgrade marks but I am willing. I need to find something that A. Is sustainable with my bad back.. and B. Is at least slightly enjoyable. Sorry for ranting everybody... it s my first post it can only get better from here. I just want ANY ideas! Thanks in advance..

He is doing the responsibilities of my immediate manager while also having a million meetings with higher ups.

8y5v68 | What are some careers with nontraditional hours? | Hi all I ve been doing my own business and doing good with it but I ve also been thinking long term and am considering going back to school for some training to get into something else. From my current business I ve found that I am not a fan of the whole 5 days a week 40-60 hours a week that seems to be what most careers are about. I prefer to have more free time. I d like to get into something with nontraditional hours. I need some ideas on some paths to consider exploring and training for. So what I m wondering is is this: what are careers or skills that I can train for that involve hours that are either 2-3 days a week of very long hours (rather than being spread out over many days of the week) or careers that don t require full overtime hours and still make good money (so I could do my business on side to supplement)?

2rexl1 | 24m. Severely dyscalculic. High school dropout. How do I get into a good career so I can finally get on my feet? | As I said in the title I have dyscalculia. I have taken the GED math test many times and failed badly every single time. I have been to dozens of private tutors. I went to community colleges to take GED preparation math courses that have ranged from 3 weeks to 6 weeks long studying long hours every single night only to fail worse than I did with no studying. I just can t comprehend even the most basic pre algebra. I have a solid work ethic and good character. I get promoted quickly at most jobs I have held. But I have to lie about my education to even get my foot in the door. I fear my transcripts will be requested if I ever get an opportunity for a job that will even pay me close to what I need to actually survive on my own.

3gtyj2 | I m a 22 year old graduate with a Neuroscience degree and I can t quite figure out if I m on the right track and not sure if my next decision is the best. I want to find a way into the Video Game Industry if I can. Am I going about this right? | Some background first: I graduated in May of this year with my BA in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience. I ve a handful of unpublished unfortunately studies involving video games as stimuli and neurological reactions. While I did enjoy that I have alway wanted and still desire to work in the video game industry. Not necessarily as a designer or the like but being part of the process so I can hopefully enjoy my life toiling away. Due to life events both within and out of my control I m not able to attend a prestigious grad program not has anyone really been able to provide me with any I insight on getting where I want to be. As a result I figured the best thing for me to do was to save up some money and grab a an online grad degree it couldn t hurt to have a masters in something I m interested in right? This has led to me officially signing up for classes with the University of Phoenix tomorrow for their MS in psychology with a concentration in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I m hoping that will open up some paths to lead me however long it takes to where I want to be. Now that the not so short background is over have I messed up? Should I still start this program? It s going to be a good chunk of money that I shouldn t have a problem paying back long term if the degree is actually worth it but I m not entirely sure that it is.

vp87xo | Should action be taken for religious discrimination food tampering? | I am bothered by something that happened recently at my workplace and I d like hear some other opinions about it. Short version: I have a coworker (I ll call her Libby) who is a member of the LDS church and another coworker jokingly put coffee into her soda without her knowledge. Libby is very devout and considers consuming coffee as a sin against God. Thankfully she only had one little taste before she realized something was off. No action was taken against the offender and now Libby has quit. A little more info: The company in question is a small company that runs several group homes for special needs youths. It is not some big corporation they don t have an HR dept. Libby did bring the incident to the attention of the owner and admins but again absolutely no action was taken against the offender. Despite the fact that I am an atheist this prank and the fact that no action was taken has been bothering me since I learned about it two weeks ago. For one it seems at the very least to be workplace harassment. Two food tampering. Three religious discrimination. Even as an extremely non religious person this just seems so wrong to me... I feel the offender should have been fired immediately. I simply can t imagine doing that to another person regardless of my own personal beliefs. I m so disgusted and I don t know what to do.

xpxw6v | Advice on How to Deal with an Ornery HR Rep? | Started working at my new job a few months ago. Love the job. My boss is nice. There s way more flexibility and I like what I do. Even have my own office (a first for me). Should be noted my office is the only one in the building with a window in the door. Most people leave their doors open. Mine closes on its own but you can see a lot through the window. This will come up later. When I got hired I was asked if I needed to take any days. I had a family issue I had to tend to. I informed HR (this day off was 3 weeks after I started and I informed them as soon as they gave me my offer 2 weeks before giving a full 5 weeks notice). The woman in HR said what no one else can help your mother? I was taken aback and responded with no. I heard from the head of my department who encouraged me to take the day and not to worry about the woman in HR and that family comes first. I took the day and didn t think anything of it. Today a few months later I m concerned because my dog had a vet appointment to assess a possibly very concerning issue. Since I m working my partner took the dog. I was checking my phone for a facebook message (no service in the building but there is wifi so i am able to communicate with my partner if need be whether about our human or fur child--i was told theres no need for a phone ay my desk otherwise id just use that) to see if the vet looked at the pup. HR lady barges into my office and says I need to talk to you about your phone! This isn t the first time I walked by your office today and noticed you on your phone. Considering the company s status right now (they just laid off some employees due to stocks falling I work in corporate accounting and these employees are in the factory) I m shocked you d even look at your phone in a time like this! I told her about the dog and how anxious I ve been all day. She responded with that s not an excuse! I reminded her that I don t have a phone and considering theres no service it wad the only way to check in. She huffed at me and said it needs to stop NOW and flabbergasted I just responded with I understand and left it at that. She didn t say anything about a warning or a write-up. I don t think checking your phone for family stuff should be an issue. I also think if my job is getting done (which it is my boss just complimented me about completing a huge project in record time) it shouldn t matter. I m not a smoker so I don t take smoke breaks. Anyway I m really taken aback by how abrasive she s been with me. Most people I ve heard dislike her but obviously I have to deal with her. Any tips on how to remain professional with someone like this? I was really angry today after realizing it s the second time in as many months she made me feel like shit for checking on doing something for *my family*. I like this job and feel secure with my boss and my department but this lady is definitely a thorn in my side. ETA it s interesting these issues only arise when I m alone with her. I m going to look into getting a kickstand for my office door so that it s always open. This way she can t say have these weird conversations with me alone. I may even suggest my.manager join in next time. Seems like she has big balls when no one is around but when others are there she s so nice. | 2022-09-28 00:45:05 | https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/xpxw6v/advice_on_how_to_deal_with_an_ornery_hr_rep/ | 2022-10-10 19:35:43 | advice on how to deal with an ornery hr rep started working at my new job a few months ago love the job my boss is nice there s way more flexibility and i like what i do even have my own office a first for me should be noted my office is the only one in the building with a window in the door most people leave their doors open mine closes on its own but you can see a lot through the window this will come up later when i got hired i was asked if i needed to take any days i had a family issue i had to tend to i informed hr this day off was 3 weeks after i started and i informed them as soon as they gave me my offer 2 weeks before giving a full 5 weeks notice the woman in hr said what no one else can help your mother i was taken aback and responded with no i heard from the head of my department who encouraged me to take the day and not to worry about the woman in hr and that family comes first i took the day and didn t think anything of it today a few months later i m concerned because my dog had a vet appointment to assess a possibly very concerning issue since i m working my partner took the dog i was checking my phone for a facebook message no service in the building but there is wifi so i am able to communicate with my partner if need be whether about our human or fur child--i was told theres no need for a phone ay my desk otherwise id just use that to see if the vet looked at the pup hr lady barges into my office and says i need to talk to you about your phone this isn t the first time i walked by your office today and noticed you on your phone considering the company s status right now they just laid off some employees due to stocks falling i work in corporate accounting and these employees are in the factory i m shocked you d even look at your phone in a time like this i told her about the dog and how anxious i ve been all day she responded with that s not an excuse i reminded her that i don t have a phone and considering theres no service it wad the only way to check in she huffed at me and said it needs to stop now and flabbergasted i just responded with i understand and left it at that she didn t say anything about a warning or a write-up i don t think checking your phone for family stuff should be an issue i also think if my job is getting done which it is my boss just complimented me about completing a huge project in record time it shouldn t matter i m not a smoker so i don t take smoke breaks anyway i m really taken aback by how abrasive she s been with me most people i ve heard dislike her but obviously i have to deal with her any tips on how to remain professional with someone like this i was really angry today after realizing it s the second time in as many months she made me feel like shit for checking on doing something for my family i like this job and feel secure with my boss and my department but this lady is definitely a thorn in my side eta it s interesting these issues only arise when i m alone with her i m going to look into getting a kickstand for my office door so that it s always open this way she can t say have these weird conversations with me alone i may even suggest my manager join in next time seems like she has big balls when no one is around but when others are there she s so nice | 3 | Environmental Career Options | 18,005 |

ayzmri | How do I find what career path to take? Would appreciate advice from anyone..Just getting out of a gap year. | Hi this probably sounds really naive or childish and could possibly be the wrong subreddit for me to post on (please let me know I will remove it immediately) but I have absolutely no idea what I want to do career-wise with my life. I ve always found importance in education and want to continue my studies and go to college the problem is I can t see myself doing anything in specific. I don t necessarily come from a well off family so I can t afford to suddenly switch careers midway if I see it s not really my thing. When I make the choice I wanna make sure its 100% what I want to do which is scary. How did you guys find out the perfect career for you? I never really had the resources or attention in my old school to help me decide so I ve always been on my own with this. I ve taken a gap year to work on myself and earn money for school but it s getting to that point again where I have to start figuring out what I wanna be. I ve been taking tests to see what specific fields I could look into but they all seem too gimmicky and not something I can take seriously. I don t know if this would be helpful but I absolutely love art and really enjoy helping out those who need help whether it d be tutoring or building up someone s self-confidence and being a figure to look up to. I enjoy writing reading and being creative. I absolutely dread science though. Thank you to those who took the time to read and again I apologize if this comes off in the wrong way. TLDR: Need help trying to find which career path to take.
