#AskFedi
I've been at this tech thing for almost a decade now. It's had its high points, and I've met some incredible people along the way. But this current environment in the industry, especially in the job market, gives me a lot of unease.

Over the last two years, I have put out hundreds of applications for relevant roles with zero responses to sit for an interview, *NONE*. All the while, there's a dark cloud of layoffs that hovers with no clear indication of when it may strike.

I know this describes the experience of many folks on here, and I know I'm lucky to still have the gig I have at all. But still, I don't want to feel like this, so I'm working toward making a change, potentially a big one.

And I'm soliciting feedback from y'all because things feel upside down, and it helps me to get some outside perspective, especially if you've been in a similar place.

So, I'm considering returning to school for a Master's degree in environmental science and/or ecology, with the intent to work on landscape ecology or ecological restoration.

I can explain the "why" behind this later, or ask and I'll try to assemble my thoughts around it.

A little background: Back in the day, I got a Bachelor's in mass communication to work in journalism, which I did for a little bit. I also got a Master of divinity from a seminary I'm not aligned with theologically or otherwise anymore (long story) that I've ostensibly not used in any form since. My tech education started at bootcamp right after seminary, and I never looked back.

Given my professional and family constraints, I'm searching for online programs, and I've already starting comparing ones I've found. I'm not interested in pursuing a PhD at this point, so my goal is to take what I learn and go put it into use as soon as possible.

So feedback I'm looking for from the fedi:
- **Have you made a mid-career pivot?** How did it go, and what did you learn that would have been helpful to know at the outset?
- **Do you know anyone working or teaching** in environmental science or ecology fields that I could connect with?
- **Are there glaring blind spots** I'm missing? Is this crazy?

And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

  • Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!
