[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the ideas but I feel stuck as my nonprofit job is administrative so I have little business skill to be able to transition to consulting. [/quote]

Hard truth is that you are your own worst enemy. You need some help to get unstuck — career coach, therapist, life coach. Something. You have self-defeating thinking.

I work in non-profit and have seen several people in admin roles parlay that into something better, sometimes within our org and sometimes they take a job elsewhere. You are directly adjacent to leadership and executives every day, right? You should be soaking up what they do and how they do it.

I make 160k at a non-profit at 45. I got here by hustle, making my own opportunities and working hard. I climbed from 50k to 160k working in the same org. How? If something needed doing, I did it.

I have an undergrad degree in English. Started MPH school at 35. Went part-time while I worked. It was a slow 4-year slog, but I did it. With kids at home.

It can be done, OP. But you absolutely need to shift into a higher gear. [/quote]
