Strategic Pivot for Better Job Opportunities

The user is struggling with limited experience, financial constraints for an Associate in Fine Arts (Graphic Design), and a lack of interviews. While graphic design is a valid field, the current approach is not yielding results. A more strategic pivot is needed. Instead of solely focusing on an expensive degree for graphic design, the user should consider acquiring immediately employable vocational skills or pursuing more accessible online certifications to build a portfolio. Leveraging existing experience (food delivery, maintenance) for roles in logistics, facilities management, or even customer service could provide stability. A complete overhaul of resume and application strategy is crucial, along with exploring remote work opportunities or relocating to an area with more job prospects and better residency benefits for education/training. Online resources for graphic design (Coursera, LinkedIn Learning) can help build a portfolio without heavy tuition debt, alongside a more stable interim job.
