I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side.
