What career options are realistic for someone with physical limitations and language barriers in the US?
What career path or study should I pursue? I need some advice. I'm 25 and trying to figure out my career options in the US. Here's my situation: I have a bachelor's in Psychology and Japanese Studies from Korea. While I can handle daily English conversations, I'm not confident enough for jobs that require extensive communication. That's why I feel becoming a counselor here would be challenging, despite my psychology background. My limitations: - I have spondylolysis, so I can't do jobs requiring heavy lifting or physical demands - I have Meniere's disease, which means I need to avoid noisy work environments - Korean is my first language, and my English isn't strong enough for communication-heavy jobs I originally considered becoming a radiologic technologist at a community college, but had to drop that idea since it requires lifting patients. I enjoy humanities, languages, writing, and creative work, but finding a stable job in these fields seems really tough in the US. So now, I'm thinking about getting into healthcare technology, considering: 1. Master's in Health Information Management (HIM) 2. Health Informatics/EMR field What I really want to know is: - Are these fields stable and promising? - Can anyone suggest other career paths that might work for someone in my situation? Thanks for reading this long post!
