I see you post questions like this at least once a week across multiple communities. At what point should you consider a change? Either workplace, specialization, or career field entirely? Because it’s clear whatever you’re doing is not working for you.
You can learn on your own time. Books are cheap or free to read and there’s lots of ways to get free hands-on experience. Get off social media and into your local library!
Then you should know that you can’t just get a degree from reading books at the library, right? You can teach yourself everything, but that doesn’t mean society will recognize it unless you build your own business from the ground up and earn an “honorary” degree.
And if you can afford to do that, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
You don’t need a degree for tons of careers, even well paying ones. There’s also tons of people who get a degree and then do the bare minimum of learning afterwards.
I know people who quit medical jobs, like nurse in a big hospital, to do another job that's equally shitty. Quitting by itself makes sense, as most of them won't be promoted to a manager, statistically speaking.
I think, what they really should consider is to find a better hospital (instead of becoming a massager or a cashier).
Maybe smaller hospitals have less stress. The way I change my job is to contact friends and gather information about their workplaces.
