Hi friends! Quick summary about me:

28 years old - Been an Administrative Assistant for the better part of 8 years, 4 of which being the "Senior". Data and Personal Information Privacy, Data Entry, Phone Calls and millions of emails, etc.

Have been going to college at my local Community College for a year now majoring in CIT, but with the job outlook in IT I am looking for something a little more future-proof. I am not good with bodily fluids, but I really love helping others and my passion is with technology, so I figured a Medical IT Associates degree would be a good start.

The tracks at my college are for Medical Coding, Medical Administrative, and Medical Practice Management.

Not looking to make insane money quickly, just wanting something with a decent future outlook that I can improve upon gradually.

Hello everyone, some background on me:

28 years old, roughly halfway through an Associates in IT with the plans to go for a Bachelors. Live in a pretty rural area in Eastern US.

Have been an Administrative Assistant at a Fulfillment Center/DC for a total of 9 years, 4 of which being at the "Senior Admin Assistant" level. It's not a typical Admin Assistant role, I don't schedule events or book travel, I help employees with fixing there punches throughout the day or if they have a question regarding a workplace policy. I schedule our Incoming deliveries and our Employee Attendance information such as Call-Ins, Bereavement, FMLA, etc. I help HR with Bi-Weekly Payroll.

My true passion does however belong to Technology, which is why I am currently majoring in IT. However, I believe at this point in my life I value the prospect of a more reliable, decent future, than one with a career I genuinely enjoy but contracts and job hopping are part of the culture, which is why I am debating changing my major come this Fall.

I come to you all the ask; what is a good path from where I am now, to a decent future with a career that isn't back breaking, doesn't require constant travel and is not declining to badly. I figured with my current professional background, Supply Chain Management or a general Business degree would be the correct route in moving up in my warehouse, or others nearby.

Or, in your experience, does a degree in IT get the same benefit as a Business degree would when it comes to higher paying warehouse management jobs? These are what I am looking at for the near future.
