A few more months and I can afford to get a job that makes me happy.

Doesn't matter how much i get paid, I gotta change shit in my life. Nothing is worth this pain.
Temperature is warming up, maybe my car won't be so bad to live out of anymore.
Retirement home User IT.
Easy hours, easy work, OK pay, appreciated everyday.
Has been my sweet spot.
Hope you find something. I worked food service at retirment place during covid and wanted to die. That dread feeling as the first thought when you wake up is no way to live a life. Good luck bb
similar - i worked as a chef for 14 years, wanted to step in front of a bus. got a job working IT at a high school and ended up with easy work, better pay easy hours and appreciation. cannot even begin to tell you how much my life has improved. don't love it, but i don't feel like i have to either.
I don't need a job that brings me joy. I just need one that pays the bills and doesn't make wanna walk into traffic after every shift.
^this really. it took me a long time and a career change to realise that i don't need to love my job, i just need to not hate it. i no longer daydream about stepping into traffic to avoid having to go to work. i don't make a lot of money, but enough to enjoy my life. my work isn't particularly rewarding, but it's not hard and i don't take it home with me.
manager is a cheat code on your resume. a company that changed ownership or went out of business during the pandemic (probably) can't verify your employment. get one legit job with it in your ideal field and then never acknowledge it again.
living in your car sux.
I hope things work out for you.
Could also be a business you owned for a year after getting a business license. Owned my own for a while from 2012 to 2014, and it's been my employer on all my resumes since. I never include any shit I did after, just keep that one as if I worked there as a supervisor from 2012 to present day. Works wonders.
i like what i do, in general terms. but getting exploited and being on call 24/7 for dissapointing pay is awful. it pays the bills but is it worth it to give them your entire adult life? i dont have much choice, but still.
seems like you can't really have both in capitalism anymore.
Took me a loooong time to find one that is both.

I set my own hours, don't have a project manager, make good money, it'll only get better. The dream is real and I'm in it baby.
