Any recommendations on classes I should take/ organizations i can work with to build up my gis portfolio?

I'm in the US now, right after college i was doing research along the Michigan/ Canada border then went to Juneau,AK but I started having seizures. I was let go at the time and told I could come back once I got them under control and could perform the duties of my job again (its been 7 years, I finally got them under control and got my license back but um I feel kind of iffy reapplying almost a decade later. )

In the mean time I have taken online classes in RHINO, GIS, and random things online to keep my memory fresh but while applying to jobs it seems like there's just one (EIT, drivers license😓) thing I'm missing to have all the preferred skills.

I have been volunteering with the history museum near me too, but there are only so many children interested in trilobites and shark teeth. I don't want to give up on the thing I've been fighting so hard to get, but I feel like I'm barred from reentering this field.

I am looking for an apartment near Station North. I've only lived in the city for a year but my life has mostly revolved around this area - I have a car so no issue if it's a little further out.

I'm not looking to spend more than 1500 a month, wasn't too move by mid September. I would prefer a 1b/1b but I'm not opposed to a studio or roommates if there's multiple full bathrooms.

Just looking for recommendations, I can hear literally every conversation my current neighbor has and I hate it. I could write a sitcom, and if I have another leak I think my lungs might start growing mold worse than the windowsill. (I have been looking at other posts that have plenty of help on dealing w these situations).
