Everything else is so oversaturated I'll never be able to get a job in it

I make barely above minimum wage and I'm struggling.... I have a degree but its in a liberal arts field, so pretty much useless. How do I make better money?

People on this sub say that every company in the US is sending their entire financial department overseas (with the exception of executive roles). Are we going to have a country where in 30 years no one understands our own financial rules?

Besides healthcare careers, obviously. Are all people who aren't interested in healthcare just supposed to skip college?

2 years ago I had a warehouse management job. I didn't mind it but I hated the constant human interaction, odd hours, and unclear demands. I got put on a PIP and chose to leave. During the past two years I've just been working odd jobs to get by while thinking about what I want to do. I was considering going back to school for accounting or finance because I find it interesting and I feel like I'd be good at it. At the same time the entry level job market for that seems pretty rough. I was considering applying to management jobs again but I fear that after 2 years my managerial skills have gotten rusty. What do you think I should do?

I hate myself so much for being interested in the financial field. There's no way I'm ever making money with that. It's so cringe being interested in it. I wish I could force myself to want to work in something that actually has a need.

I wish I was extroverted so bad. Extroverts get all the good jobs. I lost my old job because I wasn't talkative enough and now no one wants to hire me because I don't come off as confident in interviews. I hate it so much.

People say that any job that can be done on a computer can be done halfways across the world, and eventually will be. What will happen to western economies once that happens?

I'm a little different socially I have decent social skills but I'm not naturally outgoing and I'm not great at small talk. I want to work in finance but idk if I'd fit in in a corporate setting. I feel like I'd struggle with all the hidden rules and such that I'd just get steamrolled. I used to work as a warehouse manager and I kinda got pushed out for not being social enough. What I'm saying is I kind of am seeking a job where the expectations are very clear and communicated upfront and your employability isn't entirely determined by how good you are at conforming to everyone else. Do these kinds of jobs even exist? Are there financial jobs that are in a not corporate setting?

I'm looking to start a new career and I really have an interest in finance and business. Unfortunately it seems that there's no entry level jobs in that, and everyone in every business career related sub says you have to work in healthcare instead. I really don't like healthcare at all but I also really need money. Is it worth it to do what I love instead of what is the most stable?

I feel so demotivated to learn anything new because everything that interests me is getting taken over by AI... do I have to just settle for a job I hate for the rest of my life?

I hate the fact that a successful future was stolen from me because of my disability. I wanted to work in finance but I have such terrible social skills and I have meltdowns when overstimulated. No company will ever want to hire me. I hate myself so much I wish I could be normal so bad

I am autistic, as in like having meltdowns when I'm overstimulated and being absolutely awful at small talk. I've accepted I will never have a corporate job. No corporation will ever hire me, even if I'm qualified. Every time I go to a meetup group I know I stick out like a sore thumb because I'm such a freak. I wish I could be one of the Golden Children so bad but I never will be.

Everyone clowns on liberal arts degrees for not being directly useful in the job market, but if you go to the subreddit of basically any "useful" degree (finance, accounting, any type of engineering, statistics/data analytics, math, etc) its full of people who can't get a job. Does this mean that there is no such thing as a "useful" degree anymore?

I want to go back to school but the issue is I'd be in my early 30's by the time I enter the workplace... I'm a woman and I've heard that once you hit your 30's companies don't want to hire you because they assume you're just going to immediately quit to raise children. I don't want kids but even if I did it's none of their business. But the assumption still stays, they're going to see how old I am due to having a longer work history and Idk if any company will take a chance on me

I'm not interested in healthcare at all, I know I'd be terrible at it but its all everyone screams on this site NURSING NURSING NURSING that its the only major worth pursuing. Sometimes radiology tech and sonography as well. I know I'd hate all those jobs but I feel this obligation to give it a try even though I don't want to.

I'm 28 and I work a dead end warehouse job. My degree is in a liberal arts field. Every suggestion people give me is something I know I'd struggle in. Like I don't have the personality for sales, I'm a woman so trades and construction is probably out of the question, and I really don't have the temperment for healthcare or law enforcement.... what can I even do? Every other field seems to be cooked. I can't do military or aviation due to health issues, and my undergrad grades were bad so I can't get into an elite law or business school. Should I just give up now?

Everyone calls the USA the "land of opportunity". My parents are big capitalist cheerleaders and say that this is the best country to be born in. To me, it doesn't feel that way. Life here is extremely expensive and yet companies don't want to hire us because we're "too expensive". Go to any career subreddit and its full of people saying they can't find a job, even traditionally stable ones like engineering and teaching. Why do people still give up everything to come here?
