Ross Young<p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a><br>I've been at this tech thing for almost a decade now. It's had its high points, and I've met some incredible people along the way. But this current environment in the industry, especially in the job market, gives me a lot of unease.</p><p>Over the last two years, I have put out hundreds of applications for relevant roles with zero responses to sit for an interview, *NONE*. All the while, there's a dark cloud of layoffs that hovers with no clear indication of when it may strike.</p><p>I know this describes the experience of many folks on here, and I know I'm lucky to still have the gig I have at all. But still, I don't want to feel like this, so I'm working toward making a change, potentially a big one.</p><p>And I'm soliciting feedback from y'all because things feel upside down, and it helps me to get some outside perspective, especially if you've been in a similar place.</p><p>So, I'm considering returning to school for a Master's degree in environmental science and/or ecology, with the intent to work on landscape ecology or ecological restoration.</p><p>I can explain the "why" behind this later, or ask and I'll try to assemble my thoughts around it.</p><p>A little background: Back in the day, I got a Bachelor's in mass communication to work in journalism, which I did for a little bit. I also got a Master of divinity from a seminary I'm not aligned with theologically or otherwise anymore (long story) that I've ostensibly not used in any form since. My tech education started at bootcamp right after seminary, and I never looked back.</p><p>Given my professional and family constraints, I'm searching for online programs, and I've already starting comparing ones I've found. I'm not interested in pursuing a PhD at this point, so my goal is to take what I learn and go put it into use as soon as possible.</p><p>So feedback I'm looking for from the fedi:<br> - **Have you made a mid-career pivot?** How did it go, and what did you learn that would have been helpful to know at the outset?<br> - **Do you know anyone working or teaching** in environmental science or ecology fields that I could connect with?<br> - **Are there glaring blind spots** I'm missing? Is this crazy?</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EnvironmentalScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalScience</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pivot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pivot</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GradSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GradSchool</span></a></p>

It started life as a household cleaner known as Kutol Wallpaper Dough, used to clean coal soot off of wallpaper. It thrived for decades, but by the 1950s, when people shifted to electric and gas stoves, the family-run company was on the verge of bankruptcy. That’s when the owner’s sister-in-law, a New Jersey nursery school teacher, called him with a revelation: the cleaner could be used as modeling clay! The company quickly pivoted, removing the cleaning agent and adding that familiar smell. It used the same factory, the same extruders, even the same can, just with a different label—and voila! One of the most enduring toys of all time was born.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play-Doh" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play-Doh</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/pivot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pivot</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/siliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>siliconValley</span></a></p>
