Most of them did. The majority of them do come from engineering backgrounds. But when they become managers, they lose their engineering sensibilities and acquire fresh coats of sleaze.
You sound like someone that might have received advice here against moving to NYC. This is not a great town for people lacking both experience and a degree. And a degree in sports just sounds weird to me.
Okay, here's some advice. Get a job working for a college. Any job. Even a janitorial one. Just make sure that one of the perks is free tuition.
The other possibility is, since you don't seem to have any particular interest in anything, you might investigate any temp agencies that could give you an avenue to poking into different fields.
Doesn't matter anymore, unless your skin color is brown then it matters. It's the same with many careers, jobs are given based on skills with priority on ethnicity.
You could be a certain ethnicity with a PhD in that field and not get the job because of the ethnicity and age factor.
As for pay, if you make only $100k in NYC you are underpaid for a high skill job. I know folks who make $100k sitting home on a remote job out in Colorado and pay very little in taxes and living there is dirt cheap. In NYC, $100k is about equal to making $45k out in the mid-west.
Sad way of wording it but if the OP is a white male born in the USA he will be up against "diversity" comittees and gender politics pushing hard to eliminate his type and advance "people of color" groups. Yeah sounds about right. And stay away from "school" systems like CUNY unless you fit the right gender stereotype and your color of skin is diverse. Blah.
ETA: Don't know why it says "Staten Island" in the link. If you go there, you'll see that they are at all the facilities.
Yeah but he would not get hired immediately. Cmon most people in NYC cannot afford to float themselves too long without full time work. Really this OP is up against some serious resistance like fighting a strong current. Sounds like he has nobody in his corner and he is up against the whole city.
I’ve worked in kitchens for some time and I wanted to get out of the field ...
Have you considered culinary school?
You say you don't want to work in kitchens, but you have the experience. So why not "promote yourself" to chef? Lots of first class restaurants and hotels in NYC pay top money for great chefs.
