What type of career do you want to change to? Not all of them require a degree. You might be able to make a change without additional education or getting a certificate. Your employer may even lay for it.
I would definitely figure that out before doing anything else. Also it wouldn't hurt to take a hard look at why you don't like what you're currently doing. It sounds like you good at what you do so is there something else? Burn out? A recent management change? Etc. Could be you're just looking for a new employer or a job that'll give you a different perspective on this role.
In the meantime, start saving like crazy just in case you need to quit or take a demotion for day shifts so you can go back to school.
Do you have any experience driving improvements in the operation? If so, play that up & Work with a resume writer & see if you can land a job in a corporate logistics position. Lots of well paying positions in operations in the corporate side of things that won’t require on the floor overnight work. Worked with some guys supply chain operations consulting who started at the ground level at FedEx/ups and all that knowledge was super valuable when working with clients.
If you're not looking for a full career changed you can leverage your experience and move into supply chain for a company. I have a buddy that worked for UPS and moved into a Logistics Analyst role for a different company. Now he's the guy that called the UPS and FedEx reps and yell at them for issues. The move ended up doubling his salary as well as making him much more happier than he was at UPS.
You can't do night school?
Also, what do you want to pivot to?
unfortunately i work 10 hour overnight shifts so it ruins my entire schedule and ability to function during the day. and i haven’t thought specifics yet. just currently in the desperate beginning stages of wanting to leave.
There’s a lot of great ways to make passive income with crypto like OlympusDAO, Wonderland or RING Financial. I can explain more via DM. Not selling anything, just want to help.
I would switch to day shift and then see if you still hate it as bad.
