Where should I start?

Long story short, I am looking to transition careers. I have a Chemistry BS from 2017, and directly went into a graduate program in healthcare. It was not the right choice for me and heavily influenced by familial expectations, and I'm looking to make a change within the next few years.

I have a broad range of interests, which is maybe a blessing and a curse. Environmental jobs are not the only ones I'm considering, but environment/ecology/agriculture/historical preservation hold some of the most important issues and values to me. I am trying to see where to start as someone who is going to need re-education. I would love to hear suggestions about jobs that I might look into more thoroughly.

Some of my skills/attributes:

  1. I am a good student and math/science do not intimidate me. I am willing to go back to school but if I could avoid going back for another gazillion years I'd love that.

  2. I have excellent communication and writing skills, as well as being comfortable speaking in public.

  3. I am good with stressful situations, but I appreciate work life balance.

  4. I plan to be in the West/Southwest US, and am particularly eager to help these ecosystems but I also would like skills that are useful throughout the country and aren't too region specific so if I moved my job would be relevant.

  5. I'm ok with being outside, the more the better probably. I'm strong, and I have excellent manual dexterity.

  6. I am creative and artistic, and I have enough manual dexterity to also incorporate that into my work if applicable. I like hands on things. Literally.

  7. I am a good team player but also good being by myself.

I really appreciate any programs/careers that you guys can think of. I'm just in my research phase of things and any pointers are extremely helpful for me.

This woman, Demelza ... I mean Louisa... REPEATEDLY told George Michael - I mean, Jolyon -- to get outtttt of her life. She has a successful business. She is a successful single parent. She isn't trying to stir the pot in her ex's life. And he 👏🏻 won't 👏🏻 go 👏🏻 away 👏🏻. Are we going to pretend this is romantic?

You guys might remember my last post talking about how I'm not really a fan of what they've done with the story to begin with. But for fun I've continued watching this train wreck. This plot line actually makes me annoyed af. It annoys me because it isn't romantic and she didn't show any signs of wanting Jolyon back in her life. He will not listen as she pleads for him to leave her alone. He puts in jeopardy what reputation she does have and therefore her way of life.

It's giving me Mr. Collin's reasoning of "it's only ladylike to refuse me a few times before she ultimately capitulates"

Are we supposed to be rooting for the homie who crashes on his friend's couch like a college kid (Mrs. Cole looked like she was about on her last pregnant nerve with that one), stalks his ex who would like a restraining order, tells his soon- to-be estranged wife that he will always support and love her despite quitting his job that would support her and refusing to live with her, then plops his butt at his ex's house and is like lol I'll add to your burdens til death do us part, you wanna let me live here? How many of you want your ex from over a decade ago to do this to you? You aren't even the same people at this point. It really irks me that at the end of this Louisa is like "omg yes, how did you know I actually wanted you this entire time and nothing I said before this was at all true and I can't wait for this new chapter." Just ridiculous. Love or hate this series, THIS arc is trash.
