as a white man in Europe pushing 40, I'm literally unhireable, I'm planning to continue studying next year if I don't get a job in the meantime (but still also probably)

I'm becoming a decrepit boomer and I need a comfy office tier job to last me until retirement if I don't make it before then, I also need to like double my salary from the dead end wages because I simply need more money, is it worth going to uni to get a meme degree in some bullshit? or do I consider other shorter education that are more targeted to specific work roles?

I was considering a bachelor in business n economics (because I wanna businessmaxx and make it with an own company), but shit I might even consider social work, hr, law, depending on what I get on the SAT/muh grades/acceptance

or if not uni I was considering sales/advisory sales roles for insurance or bank, or just doing accounting

or I just go into IT and start like a level 1 support desk and level up and take some Networks certs and networkmaxx or some shit like that? or anything else relevant in IT I should do? atleast this way I can increase my salary eventually and it's not completely dead end

Please advice

>or I just go into IT
Definitely no. Unless you have someone already prepared to hire you or knows lots of people in IT that can get you a job. The job market is awful and CS grads have less job prospect than arts degree grads... It became a meme field.

Yeah, and AI has already replaced those jobs with companies only paying 1 older admin 2x-3x his salary rather than paying 5x or 10x to different people or new people. There are no comfy jobs anymore.

I hear that and that's why I steered away from getting a it meme degree to begin with, even though it was my main interest desu

but I hear networking and other shit is still relevant, and again, just start on support lvl1-2 get some certs, work a bit, and change roles into networking
should be fine ? no?

True.

A very big maybe... There's a surplus of people wanting to do this. I don't want to discourage you, but don't place all your hopes in this. It would be way easier if you had people you know in the field, willing to hire you. There's people with 5+ years of experience not getting any attention right now, all because they lack connection, not competence. If you like the field, you should study it, but the job market shows no signs of recovering.
