  1. 1

    I’m feeling really down about my job situation right now. I currently work at a hotel front desk, and honestly, I hate it. This is my first job after being a caretaker for a disabled family member, which was unpaid. I’m exhausted all the time and I get burnt out quickly. I want to quit, but I can’t find another job. I've applied to around 40 positions and only got interviews for a few, and the only job I landed was this one. The problem is, the jobs available in my area are either ones I’m unqualified for or roles that I know I wouldn’t enjoy at all. Plus, I can’t move to another city since I already relocated to get away from home. I studied history in school, but I’m not sure if I want to pursue a master’s degree, and there aren’t any history-related jobs available. It’s mostly food service or roles I just don’t qualify for. I’ve started noticing memory issues and I feel constantly drained. I think it’s because my current job isn’t stimulating or interesting enough for me. I feel like I’m losing my sharpness and I forget things more often than I used to. This is just me venting, and I’m not even sure if any of this makes sense. I just feel stuck and overwhelmed.
