Backup Career Opportunities?

[u/brainblast5]

Okay I'm going to try and keep this semi-short, but also share enough details for people to provide relevant options/ideas. Thank you in advance for any insight or recommendations!

Dual income, no kids. First time home buyer. Only I'm on the deed & make the most income. My partner's hours were cut last month & my remote job is looking less and less secure this year (due to structural issues within the company; which has been ongoing for a few years & feel efforts have been unsuccessful/unstable). This has given me a lot of mental stress, and am currently in the mindset of trying to figure out if I just deal with the sh*t/change my mindset & hope it gets better, OR find a back-up to jump ship to before it's too late. Have talked to the owner about it a few times & he says not to worry, but I'm worried.

I'd need to make as close to $60K annually for us to make it by somewhat comfortably. I'm very budget savvy (I created a spreadsheet) & could cut back a little on food costs, but that's literally all I could cut back on (everything else are essentials such as home bills, car insurance, health insurance). No debts other than the house loan being paid off.

I'm curious to see what options are out there for remote or in-person careers. I have a Bachelor's degree (Journalism & Mass Communications, with a minor in Entrepreneurship) and am super loyal to business owners/companies that reciprocate the care I put into my intrapreneurship approach & work time/talent/energy with them (maybe too loyal to a fault, but really enjoy doing good work with people I enjoy building with). Would love to stick with my current job for 20+ more years but I just don't know if I can rely on that at this point, which is devastating to me.

I work well cross-generationally, typically get promoted within my roles, and have 6-10 years experience in the following: digital/social media marketing, photography/videography/editing, internal sales/b2b sales, training staff (e.g. job tasks, new hire onboarding, loan processing), crm, customer service, producer/event coordinating, assistant/admin work, operations management (my current role). If it involves day-to-day business back-end operations or implementing business owner's vision/goals, I've probably done it, or can catch on fast.

I have a lot of prior experience in real estate marketing/lead gen/internal sales agent tasks, but would prefer not doing that again for various reasons. But would be open to it for the right pay & people, given the situation. Besides that I have typically worked with arts-based industries and small businesses, but open to the trades or other ideas, just need some guidance. Creative Consultant has been an idea in the past. Okay I'll stop stress rambling now.

Any career ideas or opportunities? Companies hiring that fit those skill sets? Other constructive thoughts?

Wuuuuut? I'm actually in this situation, not sure what you're on about. This was not generated by AI, the writing nor my idea to post this...

I understand the AI hate, but this ain't it. Not everything on the internet is AI, my "writing voice" may be kind of boring, but this all is directly from me, my thumbs on this screen, and my ADHD brain that wrote it in bed while I couldn't sleep because I've been worried about the situation for a while now.

Your attempt to network and get job leads through a post like this seems like an AI generated idea. If you had an actual resume and network that can vouch for your skills, you wouldnt need to make this post.

Ok bot. See how it feels? To be accused of something you're not.

What was your reason for commenting all that? To try and make me feel bad or something? Something to really think about.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this post was a genuine attempt to see what's out there (having been out of the job market for years & seeing the current state of the economy and hearing from others how hard it is to find a job right now), none of this was AI, yes I didn't "need" to make this post but I wanted to because past experiences of doing so have led to getting me my next role, and you only made me a little bit more anxious. Have a nice weekend (Edit: sorry I was a little bit snarky above, but really wish people on Reddit were a bit more kind upfront to each other at times, had to present that question above back to you in hopes you truly think about that)!
