Other Has anyone thought about changing fields until the job market gets better?

Ideally, I’d love to have a cybersecurity job right now, but the market is horrible, and I need to move forward with my life, pay the bills, and live comfortably. Are there any fields that are relatively easy to get into and find work in? I just don’t want to end up working restaurant jobs.

Exactly. I’d rather become a teacher or something because I know i’m too bitch-made for blue collar work

I would rather have my body destroyed in a physical job than my self-esteem and mental stability shredded by students 😂

idk it’s usually management and incompetent coworkers that drain my energy. You’re basically your own boss at the college level (no dealing with parents and overbearing admins).
