Hi
I am a currently a 24 years old middle school teacher looking for a career shift.
I want to talk about few things in this thread
First, what skills i can learn in a busy schedule?
Alongside my job, I spend a lot of time on my graduate diploma, and i have to take some of my work home, I find it hard to find time to learn anything and I'd just play video games if I can find 1 or 2 free hours.
Second, where I can find physics appreciation in a country that doesn't have many opportunities
The job market is bad here, adding to that there's a stigma that physics (and science in general) is for teaching only. I ended up in this job even thought I didn't really want it, but I needed the money.
Third, would you recommend taking a degree in a totally unrelated field?
I know this might already be common, but is it really worth another year or two of studying just for a career shift? I'd feel like my whole life and experience is going to waste if I did that. Or I might be just overthinking.
Anyways, here's what I'm considering, Ms In electrical engineering, Data science or an MBA.
Finally, motivation, confusion, focus, self esteem
I find it really hard to find motivation to do anything that I'm not forced into, I also feel like I haven't taken any important choice in my life other than my choice to study physics at the university, every other thing is either pushed on my or I had to do due to necessity.
I also made a similar post few months ago, but haven't done anything of value in that timespan.
I know this gets easier in few years of now, but I can't imagine myself accepting that my life purpose is to just pass my abilities to someone else without using them myself.
I'd appreciate any suggestion, criticism, or nice words. I have more to say, but I don't want this to be overwhelming.
