I just completed Day One of what feels like Eternal Unemployment after quitting a job that was seriously harming my health. I was making $16 an hour, which was not only insufficient but also led to me losing 30 pounds when I was already underweight. I experienced hair loss, back pain, and constant brain fog. The job simply wasn’t worth the toll it took on my body and mind. I couldn't even afford basic necessities like a car or gas, let alone rent amid rising inflation. After spending four years earning my bachelor's degree and working hard to gain experience in software engineering and tech support, I thought I would have better opportunities. Instead, I graduated into a job market that feels like it doesn't want me. I’ve been trying to pivot to entry-level positions in other fields that offer salaries around $50-60k, but I've had no luck. I can't afford to go back to school for more education, so I'm feeling pretty stuck right now. This is my reality.
