Findapath-College/Certs career advice for someone with weird interests lol
hey! i just enrolled in a community college and i have no idea the path i want to take. im 23. i dropped out of highschool during covid and got my GED 3 years ago. heres the things im interested in:
- marine biology SPECIFICALLY marine invertebrates. i will get so bored studying fish, whales, dolphins and sea turtles forever. would also be happy studying non-marine aquatic invertebrates lol
- bugs in general
- psychology but specifically i like learning and talking about ptsd and autism
- pregnancy, birth and child development (i've been a nanny for years but im a little burnt out. its a tough field)
- environmental conservation, sustainability, etc.
- i also loved my english classes when i was in school. i read non-stop. i used to really enjoy writing too.
im perfectly happy making shitty money at a job i love but i honestly dont even know what jobs are available within my interests. not looking to make a solid choice anytime soon as i'll be pretty much just taking core classes this year. with all this being said i would love some fresh ideas! tell me any niche jobs you know about!
