Career advice. All I’ve known is inside sales. SRS

Looks like I’m going to get more unemployment. Not proud of using it, feel like a bum, trying to turn a negative into a positive.

I have decent savings. I can live off the 500 a week for a few months if I have to. I want to use this time to increase my earning potential, all I have is a business associates degree from a community college. Obtaining the bachelors could be a worthwhile goal, but it could also crush me with student loans and no job.

I could get some form of license. Insurance licenses...real estate license? Maybe learn code? What do you recommend?

My constant indecision has ruined me thus far in my life and I’m so sick of it. I want to buy a house and move on towards financial freedom.

I have a great personality and I’m fearless on the phone, I’m good at handling objection and steering the conversation into what I want which ends up being what the desired customer actually wants. But being a cold calling machine in my 30s and 40s might turn into a soul crushing existence. I’ve seen it in my old offices.

I’m tired of being a let down. I have zero guidance and Idk what to do. My dad thinks I should be a garbage man. So I could get a baby pension when I retire. Fuk that

If you're really good at inside sales doing something in the financial sector is probably the fastest way to bank. Either that or some kind of tech sales job which there will never be a problem finding a job in if you're good.

Another idea would be to get some basic IT skills (ie a two year or one year fast tracked tech diploma) but still stay on the sales side because you'll know how to speak their language and it will make it easier.
