I have a 4 yr. degree and experience. So My field is dieing out. It just is. People are hiring fresh out of HS so they don't have to pay them much and the field is just dieing out. This is my second career. My first was Landscaping and horticulture until I was injured and unable to work in that field. So I went back to school and got a BFA major in Graphic Design. Jobs are impossible to find. My hrs. have been cut way back along with all my colleges. Any suggestions on where to turn, what to do. Something that is lucrative and maybe can utilize my skills. I'm getting so down. I'm 35 and 2 kids and for second time in my life I am having to figure out what to do... Thank you for any suggestions. Have a great day:)
 
Teaching what you know is one way to make money ( I find it most rewarding ) . You can offer classes from your home , which is not always the best choice , or find private schools and sell yourself . That's what I did . An Education Center I work for now offers art classes .
If you have Annex in your city , you're in luck because they always look for new instructors/teachers ( any adult school will do ) . If you're good , you'll have students of all ages and walks of life including those who are preparing for higher education or just want a new hobby .
Best of luck !
