Where should I go from here?

I’ve been a service advisor for the last eight years and I was a service manager for four of the eight. I would like to get out of the automotive industry. What is a good job that’s a pretty similar pivot point that I can still have some work life balance, as well as making good money?

Hello all, I need advise but some back story will help first

I (27f) have a brother (15m) and a sister (31f). My sister and I both have our own houses and she has started a family.

Not sure the best place to start but sorry if I confuse anyone.

My little brother has been raised by my mom (52). She has no job and lives with my grandma. When she got pregnant with my brother she was in college getting her degree in criminology and psychology so she stopped working so she could get WIC, Medicade, and SNAP to help financially while she was getting through school.

The guy she was with skipped town as soon as she said she was pregnant which is actually good because he was super abusive and would roid rage awfully. So he isn’t in my brothers life at all.

Fast forward to him in 3rd grade. My mom decided to pull him out of school and start home schooling him.

Present day now. He should be in roughly 9-10th grade but she still home schools him.

My boyfriend and I do what we can but we also are literally the only people in the family that work and we both work 60 hours a week.

We ask him all the time about school and he just says he can’t remember the last time he learned anything with her.

I do what I can but I’m in a rock and a hard place. He is my brother and of course I want what is best for him but how am I supposed to move forward with helping him when I feel like I financially have reached my limit and physically I’m exhausted.

We bought him a truck and are preparing him as best as we can to set him up but he has 0 parenting from mom and it’s super unfair to watch him fall between the cracks
