Invest in yourself.
If you like the job you have, see what career training will help you advance.
If you don't like the job, invest in figuring out what career you do want.
"Like the job i have"
Pro: work in a school. Get holidays as much as the kids do. In Australia. 0 gun threats. (We had 1 rock throwing incedent, and that was solved in the hour). Get paid during the school holidays. Havw 10 paid tharapy sessions per year**
Cons: work with teenagers. Live in bumfuck nowhwre.
*I remember seening a post on reddit about a nurse who couldnt see a therapist about a drunk driver killing an innocent family. All i could think of was me, helping a 14 year old learm what 2x7 was, getting 10 paid theropy sessions a year, while an ICU nurse dealing with 14 hour shifts and possible death on a weekly basis cant get thier mental health check ups. BUT Im alaonplallning ro leave this place. Outback Austrilia does pay well (tried to move out. That was my 1 year of no job. Came back, and got 3 job offers in week 1) but ita still, Outback Australia .
The good thing about small towns is the cost of living can be low compared to a city. Stack your chips, have an investment strategy, and leave on your terms. It’ll be incredibly satisfying to put your future plans into place when the time is right. Just continue to work on you and get that money working for you as well!
