Where the hell can I go?
Hello all,
It's 2025 and I would love nothing more than to shift my career path to somewhere I no longer need to worry about constant layoffs or short term contracts, or at the very least have some satisfaction in my career.
I have a BA in English, but I have jumped onto the tech bandwagon back in 2017 and since then I have done a wide variety of roles such as content moderator, operations, customer support, and now working with GenAI content in the past couple years. I feel like my career path has been limited to roles that are currently being outsourced and I feel so stagnant and unsure of my own abilities.
While I have started the IBM data analyst certificate on coursera, since most of my previous experience seems to mash with Data Analytics, I still have a feeling of doubt and uncertainty, especially when the entry level market saturation.
Here are the career paths I have considered based on my experiences:
- Data Analysis (cons: over saturation that requires my to have domain expertise in specific industries)
- Cybersecurity (over saturation and may need to some years of IT help desk anyways)
- IT help desk.
- Copywriter (I have not written any articles since 2017 and have almost no portfolio to show).
- Technical writer (same as above)
These are the only paths that I can forsee myself doing, but if there are any other careers that will allow a smooth transition into something more stable based on my writing and tech history, any guidance or advice is highly appreciated.
Thank you!
