Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

Here are a few steps you can take to help you explore different career options: Take small steps: You don't have to quit your job immediately to explore different career options. Start by taking small steps, such as taking classes or working on a side hustle, to gain more experience and build your confidence. It's also important to keep in mind that a career change can be a big step and it's okay to take your time to explore different options and figure out what you want to do next.

Investing can also be an effective strategy to generate passive income.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
