I feel so lazy to go back to school

You should consider whether or go back to school is not even worth the time and effort. Sometimes it's better to just concentrate on work and build experience from that than to waste potential years in college only to get a Bachelor's degree, which in all honesty doesn't mean much when it comes to getting a decent job any longer. It has become the norm today so if you really want to stand out from the other, you would need to get at least a master's degree, which would take even more time and money. There are many things to consider, not all of them clear. Make sure to think about it.

Get Anotherbachelor's degree solve little. Get your foot in the door of a field are you interested will ... even if you have to work from the bottom, the volunteer regardless.

If you are a natural and good for your chosen area of work yet ... open a degree in the field, only the first door.
I know friends in the Bank which has nutrition and Food Sciences, Psych degrees ... Yes, I kid you not. And they make Bank? Yes. One went all the way to the Bank ... it's more PR, which is very opportuntistic and pushy sales more than statements and figures for her, and she is good at smoozing and networking his way.

Social work, in the end, aboutPR, networking and sales ... because you have to your clients numbers work to justify State funding and to keep the applications running. There are people with a master's degree in anthropology ... in fashion (serious) and lifestyles.

And sometimes (depending on the job and what advancement opportunities, your manager, your peers, etc.)-even as commanders in some cases can work against you. You may be overqualified, or hot = even as early as the interview level. And forget about entry-level job-they are usually closed to you.

If it is a very specialist-pharmacy, architecture, etc. which you are interested ... don't bother.

IF you're a natural and good at your chosen area of work anyway ... a degree in whatever field only opens the first door.
I know friends in Banking who have Nutrition and Food Sciences, Psych degrees .... yes I kid you not. And they doing banking? Yes. One even went up all the way to Corporate banking .... it's more PR, being very opportuntistic and pushy sales more than accounting and figures for her, and she's great at smoozing and networking her way.

Even Social Work i ultimately aboutPR, networking and sales .... because you have to make your clients numbers work to justify government funding and to keep programs running. There are people with Masters in Anthropology ... in Fashion (serious) and Lifestyles jobs.

And sometimes (dependent on job and what advancement opportunities, your boss, your colleagues etc) - having that Masters in some cases can work against you. You can be seen over-qualified, or a threat = even already at interview level. And forget the entry level jobs - they're mostly closed to you.

Unless it's a field very specialised - Pharmacy, Architecture etc that you're interested in ... don't bother.
