Hello! So, for the past few months my significant other has been very down on himself regarding his career and i think his life in general. Anyways he tried to go to a four year university years ago and didn’t finish and always has that guilt. He is now working kinda a dead end job as a data entry person for an insurance place basically minimum wage...he wants to do more with his life and is not interested in going back to finish his math degree because it was very challenging for him. Honestly, he has a learning disability and has so much trouble with school in general. I know there are things he can do to be successful with just training certifications and such...i just don’t know how to help him. He’s amazing in anything regarding mathematics and logic.

I feel so helpless because he’s willing to do the work he just doesn’t know what to do

Hi. Has he tried a career counsellor?

I know exactly how he feels!He’s lucky to excel in math, it’s an area I struggle with.

I would suggest getting into data science. It’s becoming bigger in business and pays very well.

He can probably find a certificate program or finish his degree in the field.

Hello, Has he thought about taking an aptitude test? You can get them right off the computer and take it that way You can go down to the Job Service department and they can get you one to take. - You can go to David Ramsey. com and do a search to find one. Money Matters and find one there too. He might find something totally surprising when he takes that aptitude test. He might score really high in some positions that he has never even considered before. :)
