Seeking a career change to avoid physically exhausting labor and 6-7 day workweeks

I've had jobs in housekeeping, custodial, and retail that I disliked, but my current role as a clerk at USPS is my favorite so far due to its engaging work and moderate use of my brain

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known more about my career options and had a clear plan for my degree before graduation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider taking time to explore your interests and values before choosing a career path, and don't be afraid to seek advice from professionals in your desired field"
