Career options at 30 with no real experience?
I’m 30 with a BA in psychology (2020) and have been working the same retail job for a decade now. I expected to venture out into the field after graduation but my final semester was spring 2020 (right when covid began). I caught it myself at the end of the year, developed health issues due to it, took an LOA and the retail job was the most accommodating while I recovered.
I had no hope for the future when I could barely lift 5lb or do much without getting lightheaded. Anyway, I’m 30 now and only options in psych is ABA with children. I dislike children and believe they deserve someone who is passionate. Masters isn’t an option as I don’t have anyone to do a letter of recommendation.
I signed up for some accounting classes but not too sure.
TLDR; what is a career path to take at 30 with no experience, that will pay decent money/option to move up and is stable?
