I've always had the thought that I would not settle if I did not agree with something, however I'm starting to rethink this. I have been job hopping for at least 6 months now and I am exhausted. I've switched jobs frequently because I did not get any hour or enough pay. For instance, the last job I had I worked a warehouse job and received $12 an hr with only 15 min & 30 min break. My manager started to say that we had to earn our 15 min break so really only an 30 min break. I felt underpaid and overworked. Recently, I got offered a job took a drug test then got told the job is on hold and they cannot promise a start date (i did not fail my drug test). It just seems like whenever I try to get a better paying job or more comfortable job it backfires. It makes me feel as if I am suppose to just accept the underpaid jobs because they're all that's out here and that will hire fast without any unnecessary steps. I want to possibly get a bachelor's degree but fear that that won't make any difference and I refuse to get paid $15 and I have a bachelor's degree. Is life about accepting low wage jobs because you have no other choices and just taking it? I thought life was about enjoying the time you have left on earth? I refused to be a machine but now I feel like that's the only way you survive this economy, by working yourself into a grave? if it is then maybe I should accept my fate. Can anyone relate on this?
