I am a former music teacher and professional violinist looking for a new career after experiencing significant challenges in my previous role, particularly related to my identity as a transgender individual. Teaching was rewarding in many ways, especially the impact I had on my students, but the environment became untenable. I am currently pursuing a degree in allied health to become a medical lab technician or biomedical equipment repair tech, but I’m not entirely sure if that path resonates with me. What I truly enjoy is working with my hands and utilizing my fine motor skills, which I honed through music and activities like snowboarding and skateboarding. I also have experience repairing computers and cell phones, which I found fulfilling and challenging. Ideally, I’m looking for a job that allows me to leverage these skills while providing a livable wage of around $60k, as I need to support myself independently. I’m open to apprenticeships and want to avoid roles that offer low pay without growth potential. Additionally, I’m considering opportunities that could facilitate my move to Canada, especially given my concerns about the current climate for transgender individuals in the US.
