Career/Work/Life advice?

I'm kind of in a 'stuck' place %26amp; not sure which direction to go in. I have 2 degrees in totally different subjects and cannot get past $8-$10/hr jobs.





Those salaries are not enough for me to pay for food, housing, transportation %26amp; student loans.





I'm in my 30's. I want to start my life in terms of buying a condo, have kids, pursue some hobbies but I can barely pay for my own expenses (did I mention I just rent a room). I can't even afford to pursue a new degree.





Which direction can I go in? I'm not a good 'people person' which knocks out a lot of jobs %26amp; even having my own business. I'm good at ideas, concepts, creativity and variety.





Any suggestions on what I could do to either decrease student loans, get a better paying job or both?Career/Work/Life advice?
What are your degrees in? From the sound of it, you'd be good at a marketing company. I worked at one and this is exactly what I did. You can ';pitch'; ideas, work on designs, and webistes, work in the art dept. all kinds of stuff. Have you done secretarial work? Secretaries are always needed and if you can sit in a cubicle all day and work maybe data entry would be good. Good Luck!Career/Work/Life advice?
Look for Marketing Assistant or Marketing Manager if you have managerial experience. Report Abuse
