ABA or RBT?

I am in a unique and complicated situation. The short version is that I have worked physically in healthcare for over a decade. I'm getting older and I'm not able to work the way that I used to. I completed a bachelor's degree in psychology because I was hopeful I could transition into mental health care. It seemed logical to me and the school made it seem as so. Cue graduation and I don't qualify for anything because I don't have ABA or RBT certification. Any advice? Please?

5 weeks, multiple posts between here and other platforms, reaching out to prior schools, reaching out to county mental health centers, sending out a prayer for advice emails, and no one can give me an answer on how to become RBT certified even though all it requires is a high school diploma and I have a freaking bachelor's degree. This is insane.

Most ABA places will offer on the job training in order to help you become an RBT

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
