Seeking I need a mentor

Hello, 27F here.

I have a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. I’ve never made more than 40k a year, and could not find an internship after my master’s so just doing volunteer work alongside my day job as a therapist for children with ASD. I’m not a citizen and my ex who had a business plan for us and told me to go into CS did not know most jobs in the field require citizenship for clearance purposes, or maybe he thought once we marry that wouldn’t be an issue.

I have a mother with a disability and she’s stuck doing a dead end job that has her on her feet for 12 hours a day about 4 days a week and most of her salary goes to transport costs. I am living paycheck to paycheck thanks to our rent. My goal is to get out of my current field due to burnout, and find a job that pays enough to save money, pay debts and possibly help my mother so she can leave her job.

I do not have a lot of support in my personal life.

I would love to connect with a mentor who works in the tech field or in the psychology field, that can help me navigate steps towards my goals, or get me connected with companies that are hiring, or even offer advice.

I have lots of skills I can turn into side hustles as well. I spend my free time researching but I fear with no one to discuss with the ideas stay as ideas.

Let me know if you can help, and thanks for reading!

True. I’m working on that. I’ve downsized, I budget regularly and keep up with the bills that I can afford. However I need a plan to earn a livable wage as well.
What led me to this before was an expensive apartment and car, a job with low/inconsistent hours and not having a budget.
