I’m a depressed web developer who’s hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I’m wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus there’s the plethora of things I could possibly do online that Inhave no idea about.
I will most likely just stay as a work from home web developer, so don’t worry too much about me. But still wondering what possible alternatives there are out there, if anybody has any ideas they wouldn’t mind sharing.
I also realize that “rural” might not be specific enough, but I don’t want to get any more specific than that for privacy reasons.
That’s true that healthcare jobs are plentiful out in rural areas. I never thought of that. I’m not too sure how I would feel about having to go back to school, but it’s a good option to consider.
I have a two year Associate Degree with a full Registered Nurse license because the Associate Degree contains all the same clinical hours as the Bachelor’s, just fewer leadership and development, research, and “nursing theory” classes.
I’m biased, I love being a nurse even as stressful as it often is. I’m happy to answer questions, if you’re interested.
Respiratory Therapy looks like another good healthcare career with reasonable training requirements.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, two year Associate Degree might not be too bad, if I really wanted to make the transition.
