It’s probably worth it to look into changing fields entirely, but honestly so many industries in the US are hurting right now, IDK which ones would even be a good option…
I just finished my associates in something called “industrial maintenance.” A degree that is a little bit of electrical, HVAC, Circuits, & machining. I have not been accepted to the 20 “entry” level jobs I found (also went to a career fair). And everywhere I look for related fields or anything people say there’s too many people in the business. It’s like every job field has “too many people”
As long as the market grows, it’s gonna take people to do the work implied by the growth.
When growth stops, jobs vanish. It’s like the market is the wind and jobs are the kinetic energy. When the wind stops blowing, the kinetic energy disappears.

Any chance you’re good at making guillotines? One can hope they become high demand.
Man, I’m not good at anything except making an occasionally funny snarky comment
I once knew a guy that got a job by telling dick jokes on a forum. Got hired to work on some internal newsletter at Microsoft.
A younger version of me would ask for a referral, but now I know better about MS and have standards (from the unemployment line)
Don’t underestimate that skill. Helps people make it through the day.

Shit, I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like we’re all in the same boat…
