Why can't you? It's not like you have to quit your current job to find a better one.

My advice to anyone who doesn't like their job: please don't come to work in a shitty mood all the time, bitch and moan, and spread your poison around. You don't have to love your job, but quit making excuses and being lazy and go get yourself one you will love.

Finding a job I love would require me to change my career and–in the best case–would most certainly offer a starting salary that's far less than I need, given my current financial responsibilities (e.g., my family and $130K in private student loan debt).

Furthermore, I would most likely have to earn another Bachelor's degree.

See where this is going...?

Not going to really try to refute your claims, but it sounds like you're making it as difficult as possible. For one I highly doubt you'd have to earn another bachelors degree. There has to be another way..

So, are you trying to say that I can become an Archaeologist with only a BS in CS?

Also, how can I fulfill my financial obligations with an entry-level job in Archaeology?
