Right now I’m in HR. I am working at a conservative company but I hate HR, I hate recruiting, I’m not a great recruiter, I’m in a tough career spot because I am expected to do the job of a manager and I don’t have the skills or bandwidth for it. So I’m done. I need to get out of this career, too legal for me. So I’ve been thinking about nursing or teaching. However, I’m scared to make the jump, and I don’t know what I’d teach or what kind of career field I would end up in. Help!

Is nursing recession proof? Are hospitals always hiring?

why is there a preference for SHRM?

How can anyone actually succeed in this field? I have been to conferences and trainings where other adults just don’t take me seriously because of my age (25f). I do look younger too. I dress up and act professionally and behave professionay, but I look young in the face so it’s an issue. I also try to keep connecting with different SHRM chapters and no one answers. I have an HR certificate from a great school. I just don’t get it at all. I feel so stuck and I have no guidance. I’m a department of 1 and I’ve been doing this all on my own.
