Hey there! 🌟 So, I’m in a bit of a pickle and I could really use some advice. I’ve been working a job that I got out of university, but it’s starting to feel like a dead-end. The long hours, low pay, and monotonous work are really getting to me. 😫
But here’s the thing – I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially wildlife. 🐾 I’m thinking of making a complete career shift and pursuing something related to zoology. 🦁 However, the thought of going back to school and accumulating more student debt is a major roadblock. Plus, my parents might not be too thrilled about me changing direction. 😞
So, wise people out there, any advice for a lost soul like me? I’m open to any insights and suggestions you might have. Let’s chat! 💬 #HelpAGirlOut #LifeCrossroads #NeedSomeWisdom

Changing careers is inherently risky. Changing jobs is also risky, but much less so. You have to take risks to get anywhere, but you have to look before you leap.
We don’t know what field you’re in, what the job market is like where you are, etc. but it sounds like you need to look for a job that suits you better. There’s no risk in looking, almost no risk in applying.
Then in the longer term you can think about exploring a major career shift. For me, the most valuable resource for that is to have role models. Seek out people who are doing work that you would rather do, and get their advice. LinkedIn searching is good for this if you can’t find people in your immediate network.
I’m 24, pretty much in the same situation. So I’m just dabbling atm. Every say if your young you have so much time and can just fail etc. I get that. But at the same time I don’t wanna just waste time because I have it. But I have been trying to change my perspective in a “career” per se and instead believe that I will do things and some of those thing will make me money. That’s it. No pressure to stick to something or climb any ladder. Actively trying to delete the idea of sunk cost fallacy in my brain
What is your degree on?
I was 33 going no where. Now in medicine. Nut up.
I’m 36 and have changed my ‘career’ a few times. You’ll be fine, go take some chances while you’re young.
