Get some job training
Looking to get into graphic design? Consider taking a boot camp class in Adobe InDesign. Would your career take off if you knew how to code? Take a crash course in Python. For $200, you won’t be able to earn a Ph.D., but you may gain some skills that your employer — or another one — might find valuable. With fresh skills, you’ll be more likely to keep the job you have and may be more likely to land the job you want.
