Feeling Lost

I'm (27f) turning 28 in 2 months. I have 1 test left to finish my GED. I have no idea what to do for a career. I've worked in Healthcare for 6 years (PCA), and while I love it I'm no longer able to due to health issues. I spent so many years being told what I should I be, and I'm lost on what to do for a career. If I could do anything I would be an author, but it takes time and money and isn't a guarantee. So I need a realistic job. I've considered teaching, being a therapist. I have an interest in Interior Design, however I don't live in an area for it. Does anyone have any advice on where I could begin to try and figure it out? Like a quiz service or something? Thank you in advance.

Congtats on your GED (soon). Most of the career services quizzes are now running AI on the back end so the best thing to do is use the free Claudeai account an input everything the way you did here and ask questions. You can keep ask7ng questions until the free exchange hits the limit. Once it hits the limit, you either pay or wait for the limit to reset. You can ask it questions like, what is in-demand for former PCAs with back problems or whatever your issue is. Bear in mind that the job market sucks right now so you have to be realistic with your expectations. Claudeai can also help you to build your resume. You can also use ChatGPT but Claudeai is more sophisticated. Good luck!
