   Sounds like my life since my divorce tbh. 

   Since you didn’t specify your degree I’m assuming it’s something worthless. (Since that’s what I usually do on Reddit.)

   I’m just wondering what expectations do have short term? Finding a place for yourself?

   I didn’t graduate college with my bachelor’s until I was 27 because I dropped out a couple of times and transferred. And my degree was History – talk about worthless. I managed to have a successful career, then changed careers in 2020 and have had success since then as well. You are still young and have a lot of opportunity. Some examples of my friend’s paths who are all 40 or turning 40:

   Me: Graduated at 27 because I dropped out twice from working/ smoking/videogames, worked in advertising/media buying for 8 years then transitioned to tech/presales engineer for the past 6 years. I make good money, married, house, kids, couldn’t ask for more.

   Friend 1: No degree. Worked potato chip warehouse for 7 years, got arrested for selling weed at 26 when it was illegal, now works for a company that does apartment leasing for the past 8 years and clearing $100k. Bit of a party lifestyle but may settle down soon.

   Friend 2: No degree. Worked at various cellphone kiosks/stores for 6 years, bounced different jobs for 3 years, now works at a housing relocation company for the past 8 years making $85k. Married.

   Friend 3: Associates degree from a community college. Never left parent’s apartment. Worked a warehouse job for 12 (!!!) years with no real promotion. Laid off, then unemployed for 2 years because of depression, lived with parents the whole time. 2 years ago started working at another warehouse but showed interest in IT troubleshooting (his real dream career). Now has a full-time entry-level IT role with that warehouse company and finally moving out of his parents at 41. He had opportunities for IT jobs multiple times over the past 10 years but he never wanted to try (some depression, fear of change). He finally put a little effort and got the role. Single but we will see.

   You are basically at the same starting place as I was at 27 but you have a better degree than I did imo. And you are in a much better place than Friend 1 who had a record and no job at 26, Friend 2 who never got a degree, and Friend 3 who never got a bachelors and didn’t try for an IT role until the age of 40.

   Good luck, you have lots of time to have a life you are proud of!

   The current economy and job market prioritizes licenses and certifications instead of degrees, especially if you don’t have a lot of work experience. Since you are already at Amazon you should talk to your manager and inquire about full time roles or apply for full time jobs on Amazon’s internal job board if they have one. Do whatever you can to work your way up in the organization. If you don’t want to stay there you should consider community college or vocational school training programs, or even getting your CDL license to drive trucks.
