hi howdy.
I graduated from college with a BS in sociology (listen. I had plans for that – but the pandemic hit while I was in college and that entire experience has kind of shattered any aspirations I had about going to grad school). ever since I feel like I have been dropped into some sort of awful maze. I know I'm smart. I know I'm capable. I haven't ever really gotten negative feedback from an employer or teacher. I got good grades. I thought I was doing things right.
but as of right now I feel so lost. I have no clue what I want to do with my life in terms of work. the thought of working 40 hours a week for most of my life legitimately makes me want to die. I am looking into some sort of extra education at community college to qualify me for a job I'd find at least bearable.
does anyone have any advice for what I should choose to go into? coding? fucking phlebotomy? is coding bunk because of AI?
are there any jobs or fields known for their flexibility/shorter shifts/WFH??
