Is there anyone here that earns less than 100K? Everyone seems to be doing so well on here. I'm university educated, but earning 100K or more seems like impossible dream for me. - What industries are you working in? How did you secure your role? An impressive interview, head hunted or nepotism? How do you stand out amongst other candidates in interviews? I have poor interview skills and struggle to get past the post.

Update:
Thank you to everyone for your comments. Ultimately, doing something I enjoy is at the heart of my post; at 38 I've realised that while happiness and health come before money, money is still important. I could not do a job I hate just for more money, though I now consider how I can do something I enjoy whilst increasing my earning potential. A few people asked what industry I'm in, though some may have missed my replies.

So in nutshell, I'm 38 years old. During my 20s, I worked in Tourism and then finished a Bachelor of Arts(Psychology major)/Master of Primary Teaching in my late 20s. Worked in primary schools in Sydney for 5 years. I also completed Graduate Certificate in Learning Difficulties Support Teaching. Left end of 2018 for less stressful job and have been working for tutoring company since teaching remedial students in English and Maths. On paper, it sounds good but in reality, I struggle with imposter syndrome and anxiety and really need to develop my soft skills.

After seeing all the comments, thinking about completing Cert IV in Training & Assessment at TAFE to become an Instructional Designer. If anyone has made this transition or is currently an instructional designer, I'd love to hear about your experience and how you feel in this role. 😊
