I’m in a bit of a shit situation and looking for some advice from anyone who's been through the ringer. I’m currently in my 30s, doing delivery gig work, barely making ends meet, and stuck in a loop I can’t seem to break out of. I’ve got limited education and feel like I’m running out of time to make something better of myself. My goal is to stop living paycheck to paycheck and actually make some decent money to live a stable life.
I’ve been thinking about going to college, maybe something in healthcare, specifically cardiovascular sonography, since I’ve heard it can pay well. The issue is, I’ve never been to college, and I’m wondering if I’m too old for that kind of commitment. Is it even worth it? Is there a better way to get into a career without spending years in school?
I know I can’t keep doing what I’m doing forever, but I also don’t want to make the wrong move and dig myself deeper into debt or end up wasting time on something that won’t pay off. Anyone here turned their life around after being stuck in a dead-end job? Is it too late for someone like me to start fresh?
What are my best options to get out of this hole? Should I go for college, certifications, or just keep grinding it out? Looking for some real, no-bs advice from people who know what’s up. Appreciate any input.
