I recently experienced a mass layoff from my position as a loan processor assistant at a mortgage company, which was my favorite job so far. I enjoyed the problem-solving, communication, and organization required in that role. Prior to that, I worked as an events coordinator, front desk staff at hotels, a legal assistant for the court, and an admin assistant for a corporate company and a dealership. Now, at 26 years old and living in California, I'm feeling overwhelmed and hopeless about my career options. Many job postings seem to require extensive experience or a bachelor's degree, which I don't have. I'm struggling to figure out what alternative careers I can pursue, as I feel like I've tried so many different paths already. The stress and uncertainty about the future are really weighing on me.
