Radical Career Change as a Working Professional and Mom
Hi Everyone,
I’m currently a systems engineer. My bachelor’s was in Aerospace Engineering and I’m about to graduate with a masters of systems engineering. I graduated undergrad I. 2023 so I’ve only been in the workforce for about 3 years. I have a 7 month old at home.
I’m pretty sure I hate my job. Like I like my job, but I don’t love it. And I’m struggling with staring at screens all day. I went into engineering because I was good at math and everyone told me I’d be a good engineer, but I never really took the time to figure out what my passion was.
I could go back to school if I absolutely needed to but financially that’s not super feasible. What are some careers that I could explore? Or what are some ways I could explore careers? What are some lower screen fields or careers.
Do you have success with changing from engineering to another field, or did you struggle, especially if you were a parent?
Thank you!
