The path I want to walk is in a field I don't know, which I'm approaching from the position where I can (make money).
Reality = hard. --> I joined a company that seemed related by job title, but the work turned out completely different; same name only. In the end, there's a high chance it becomes a meaningless line on my CV. (Like when I did fashion sales vs. design / planning.)
Problems I'm turning over
1. At my current company, approaching it in parallel is hard.
→ Even if I suggest it, no one understands — because it's their livelihood business.
2. Applying to a related company I want to join.
→ I don't have the entry qualifications. They don't even look twice. Will they count experience at my current company? The specs of people who've gotten in there are not even in the same league.
3. Graduate school entrance.
→ Requires English score or debating skill.
→ Pre-entry language study: 1) considered to have weak upside. 2) Costs money and time. 3) Background knowledge is also lacking.
4. External study groups / projects.
→ Not enough for a CV; I'll have to settle for hobby-level, raising basic knowledge.
Concrete forms
Income (current job / change jobs / internship); English (translation / speaking) + external (projects / study groups); grad school (master's); overseas study (PhD).
