[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost any job at all is a good starting point.

I wasn’t in my 40s, but at one point I was having to find a job when I had little relevant experience, funny gaps in my resume from backpacking, and a worthless BA.

I started in a call center. 
That led to a job in a better call center where I started picking up real skills and knowledge.
That led to a better non-call center position in that company, continuing to build up real skills and knowledge.
That led to a better job, which led to another better one, and so on and so forth and now I am in a great place. Yes it took time, but so does anything else, and I didn’t have to take on more debt to do it.[/quote]

This. I took a class at a local nonprofit which led to a part time job where I was basically making minimum wage. But I worked hard and my next job was full time and I had great benefits for our family though only made around $40k.

Took a couple years off due to COVID. My recent job, I started over $90k and now I make 6 figures.

That is a span of 6 years. [/quote]
