Go learn cad, 3D cad, or rivet. You could work anywhere. No one can fill those jobs right now

Also a teacher currently working on a career change and trying to find something ASAP, welcome to the club! The biggest hurdle seems to be finding something that pays similarly but I suppose a pay cut is too be expected when switching careers.

Good luck with your search and (hopefully) your soon to be newfound mental health and happiness!

No, it’s not assumed. 1 door and 1 window (must meet min size) or it could be 2 doors..

You are effectively a new graduate in your original field of study but older, private consulting will be hesitant as this seems to be a mid-life crisis in their eyes due to switching into a completely different field all of a sudden, public is definitely more lenient. Your field of study is kind of related to civil engineering. USACE definitely does hire architectural engineers, MassDOT I'm not sure but you can try something related to Civil. I'm pretty sure you need your E.I.T license and afterwards your P.E. license to practice, which is difficult after being out of school for so long. If you do go this route, try USACE, you will start off on the low side of $ but stay there long enough for return rights, you can do a voluntary 3-5 year stint in another country with a lot of expenses paid and come back with a job. It's really nice, I suggest you look into it more.

Project management is too broad, BUT, can bypass the whole E.I.T and P.E shenanigans if you go to the right field. I know mechanical engineers who are in project management of buildings with LEET certificates which isn't really ordinary. This may interest you as you studied architectural engineering, you should be able to recall what LEET certificates are.

You can also go back to grad school but.. I'm betting you already did an MA in educational studies or something already and don't want another degree.

Demand all the dignity you want, it’s still growing weed. With the bulk going to rec use not medicine.

No worries. I got my start in the field too late. I took the first job after getting my degree. Made just under minimum wage as a behavior tech for 5 years. After those years, no one would take me without my Special Education license. Took two years to get my Special Education license. Now I’m 7 years into a career and really haven’t made any gains financially, tenurally (if that’s a word?), or professionally. Got a job in Special Education after that, but now I’m 7 years late to the party. If I was on my true 12th year, my salary would be a lot higher. I know salary isn’t everything, and I truly enjoy the challenges the job brings. My background is in behavior, and I enjoy figuring out what motivates and drives people through studying it. But I’m at a point where, at my age, I can’t imagine this financial struggle keeping on for another 12 years. If I don’t shift gears, I don’t see getting ahead as an option.

If you are just starting out, and don’t mind a struggle for a year or two, then this is one of the best and rewarding careers you can grab. You have to be internally motivated though.

Working at a corporate VC-owned dispensary (ie one in Massachusetts) and seeing the overworked late 20s stoners look forward to taking 4/20 off was so depressing. They would spend half of their paycheck at the store, smoke morning until night every day of their lives and still for some reason look forward to this forced weed holiday.

But hey, good for Temescal I guess because they’re kicking themselves in the dick. 4/20 easily beats Black Friday in terms of revenue.

Not to hijack you but I am considering the opposite jump into teaching. Mind if I ask what the issue your referring to is ? I don't want a debate I just want your perspective.

Two means of egress in a bedroom? Is that redundant with the window!?

Certainly did a couple years ago, delayed the study. I don’t know about modern day though. Here’s a MassLive article about it.

Good to know! In all of the professional cultivation facilities I've worked in, we've always been referred to as cultivators, and I feel my staff prefer the dignification of the full title. In our line of work, "Growers" grow weed at home, "Cultivators" grow it for the patients.

No bitches

Makes more than me and my partner and we own a nice house in one of the best neighborhoods in Worcester.

OP you’ll be fine

First place I ever went skiing.

People in ag just say grower.

Depending on your interests, your experience sounds very transferable to a management position in tech (developer or scrum master).

I'd suggest going to your local MassHire location where you can learn about roles, salaries, and available programs to help you change careers.

Also attend as many networking events and seminars as you can. If you are aiming for tech, meetup.com lists a bunch of local events where you can ask around and get more feedback on what roles you are suited best for.

> the issue of the east-west railway stall and the issue of Charlie Baker being lobbied out of it by the owner of the Peter Pan Bus Company

What? Is Peter Pan trying to shut it down?

What other subs do you moderate ?

Can someone explain what this is regarding?

I really have no skin in the game and haven't been affected by anything this mod has done. But reading everything they said on the subject today makes it pretty clear to me that they shouldn't be in charge of anything.

Architectural. It’s probably not all that helpfully specifically, but more as a general background statement.

It might be helpful to specify what type of engineering your degree was in.
