So I had a conversation with my manager today that has me starting a search for a new job today. I was more or less demoted due to cost-saving and need for resources that I possess. I am in a very very niche field (trademark research, I am NOT an attorney, unfortunately). Since my work situation is becoming unbearable, is there any kind of job that is easy and quick to get that pays more than $35 an hour to get me by till I find that six-figure job I need? I imagine there is, for such a modest wage. Also, what are some good short learning curve skills to learn for someone who is pushing 50 and doesn't have youth on their side?
