I’m a vet tech. I’ve been a vet tech for 2+ years. I became licensed end of 2020 and the pay increase was nice but it wasn’t enough because I still can’t afford anything. I’m living at home because a studio apartment costs $1200 and after paying bills each month, I don’t even have that much left over. I tried posting in another subreddit asking for advice buying a trailer home in a mobile home park because I felt like that was the best option for me and the only advice was “get a better paying job” but I don’t know how!!!! I started out as a preschool teacher making minimum wage. This WAS the better paying job. I don’t know where to go from here, I went $30,000 in debt to get this job just to get paid $35k a year. I was going back to school to get a biology degree but I’ve dropped out because i don’t feel like it’s worth it going into even more debt just to be in the same boat, and I also don’t want to waste all the time and money I spent to get where I am. I don’t even know what I want to gain out of posting this I just wish it wasn’t so hard. I don’t understand why it’s so hard it shouldn’t be this hard!!!!
