I’m a 34 year old guy living in the SLC, Utah area and honestly feeling stuck in life/career-wise. I still live with my dad (I pay rent) and currently work for Grubhub/UberEats. I actually make decent money doing it, but I know it’s kind of a dead-end long term and I don’t really have any strong marketable skills. I’ve been looking into affordable online schools like Western Governors University and Southern New Hampshire University because I’d realistically need something flexible and affordable while continuing to work. My problem is I genuinely don’t know what degrees/certifications/skills are actually worth pursuing in 2026. If you were starting over at 34 with no real career skills, what would you focus on that is:
- Actually marketable
- Realistic to complete while working
- Not insanely oversaturated
- Has decent long-term income potential
- Ideally doesn’t require going into massive debt I’m open to:
- Degrees
- Certifications
- Trades
- Tech
- Healthcare
- Anything practical honestly Would really appreciate advice from people who turned things around later in life or found a path that actually worked. submitted by /u/Responsible-Net8594
