Well, this is my first interaction on this platform, and I just want to express how lost I feel. I studied Food Engineering in Colombia, but now I’m in the U.S., where my degree isn’t recognized, and I’m still paying off my university. Most of my jobs have been administrative, but none have truly fulfilled me.
This week, I started studying a new career—Web Development through freeCodeCamp. I’m trying to find a remote job using my current skills, but wow... it’s incredibly challenging...

I'm so sorry.. I can't imagine how tough it is trying to find a new role as an immigrant in the US right now. I hope that things look better for you soon in our country, and that you're able to find solid work soon. It’s awesome you’re diving into web dev with freeCodeCamp though! That’s a huge step. While you build up those skills, maybe look into remote admin or support roles to bridge the gap? You’re definitely not alone in this.

I have a Bachelors in Media Arts and Animation. I use none of it in my current role, nor will there be an opportunity at this company. You job does not define you. It is a stepping stone to where you want your life to go. You don't need to be passionate about Administrative work. Fulfill your obligations at work, and save your passion for evenings and weekends. You're doing the right thing by studying a new career field. Don't be discouraged. Use your current job situation as motivation to stay consistent with your studies. Don't focus on the end result. That's extremely overwhelming. Focus on making progress 1 day at a time.
