My job pays ok. I make 27 an hour but it's 12 hour shifts so when I go home I go straight to bed only to wake up when it's time to go back in. And they keep taking away my days off. I still get 2 usually but for example this 2 I get is working night shift, off, day shift, off, day shift so it's more like one. We have a union which is why I'm paid well but they don't care about work/life balance at all. I thought the pay would be enough to make me happy but all I really want is a life. I'm in my late 20s and I feel like life is just passing me by and I'm stuck in a miserable job after miserable job. I really honestly truly do not see a point in doing this for another 40 years. I'd rather just end it. There has to be a way out of this cycle. How have so many people grown old doing this their whole life
