I’m a depressed web developer who’s hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I’m wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus there’s the plethora of things I could possibly do online that Inhave no idea about.
I will most likely just stay as a work from home web developer, so don’t worry too much about me. But still wondering what possible alternatives there are out there, if anybody has any ideas they wouldn’t mind sharing.
I also realize that “rural” might not be specific enough, but I don’t want to get any more specific than that for privacy reasons.
It’s absolutely not a job for everyone, but damn-near every 911 dispatch center in the country is always hiring.
It may or may not work well with you being depressed. You hear a lot of terrible, depressing things of course, but if your depression is all about your job it might feel good to do something that can make a difference in your community.
That’s a good one, thanks for the suggestion. You mentioned another contributing factor to my hypothetical career change too. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to work at some place that has a more direct impact on my community. My current job is more indirect, I would say.
