Ask what their current policies are with COVID (many freshmen are withdrawing at the thought of a 'virtual year') - but be aware that tuition may still be expensive This is very unique to programmers but is achievable with a lot of 'off-time' programming outside of courseworkī) you want a 4-year degree- the best route would be to talk to nearby universities. as much as they should take quarantine-stress into account).Ī) you want a 2-year degree with the possibility of a 4 year (total) degree: see this is not just a good resource but a lot of IT/programmers get a 2-year degree and are later hired for any position (with BA/BS degree requirement later). These pamphlets will also include descriptions of how education will be in the short term - with COVID different programs may invite more applicants (so ask A LOT of nearby universities you are interested in!!).īut the work you are doing sounds like not just 'general job stress' but job-stress on top of 'COVID-19' stress (sadly, employers don't take into account 'I haven't seen my friends in another state. They will have (too many!) pamphlets and descriptions to send and would love to send them to you. Specifically, because all advice sounds like it was written a year ago when job opportunities were "take some programming! then you'll find a job you like!"īefore anything else - I would recommend calling a local public university to examine your options. A lot of people are struggling in these times and 'what will I do with my life' may be just as important as 'how will I earn money for tomorrow. I hope this all makes sense, I'm not great at articulating things and I'm feeling sick to my stomach thinking about work tonight.įirst of all - there is nothing wrong with you for difficulties. How can I figure out what I want to do for a job/career/major and how do I even get there when I'm stuck working so much just to survive. How do I get out of this? I feel like I'm trapped.I'm almost 30, living at home with no degree and no clue what I want to do. I don't know what to do, any job I could realistically get is physically taxing on me and Im so tired/sick feeling on my days off it's as if they don't even happen. I want to go back to college, but I'm considered "out of state" student until next year because I JUST moved back to California. I've never known what aive want to do "when I grow up" I didn't know in high school, and even now I don't know what I want. The problem is with no degree, not even an associate's I don't have the qualifications for anything other than these dead end fast food jobs. I just want a quiet office/work from home job that's not taxing on me. I'm diabetic and have neurofibromatosis, so standing on my feet and being active in front of a hot oven all day is draining on me. It's like no matter what job I try I get really exhausted, physically and mentally really easily and I just dread having to deal with workplace politics and customers, etc. The fuck is wrong with me? Why can't I just deal with it and work like everyone else? I wake up sore and achy every morning and already have a "I don't want to go to work" mindset. It's only been one week at this job, but I'm already exhausted and burnt out. I just started a new job, a pizza place, on Monday. So this is my current situation, I'm 29, living at home with my parents. March came and I lost my job to COVID, so I had no choice but to.move back home to San Diego with my parents. In January my ex left me at my absolute lowest duri6a depresed episode and in February my landlord, her mom, decided to sell the house she was renting me. I spent the last year living in Las Vegas.
