Hey all! 24F and been working a 9-5 since 16. No kids, had my own apartment but moved back home with mom and dad to save money. Car is paid off and about 5k in savings and some credit cards. I been at this job since Jan of 2020 and most kids my age would get on their knees and beg for the job I have. WFH $48k a year. But it’s in finances(financial associate) & I deal with snobby ass people that talk to me like I’m slave (also I’m black and I feel like most don’t like working w me bc I’m black) anyways, I want to trade stocks and forex full time and also DJ and go back to barber school but with 40 hours a week that’s just not possible. Especially with me going to the gym. I have Saturday and Sunday off but what is 2 days after working 5 days. So I did request to go part time but they need a reason such as child care, school, etc. with barber school it will be 8am-5pm no night classes where I’m at and our hours of operation at work is 7am-8pm. So I’m going to leave this job to peruse my future. I’m actually gonna give them a choice. Either I go part time working 6 hours a day or either I’m out, (I feel like they gone tell me they don’t have the availability to make me part time) Kinda scared because at 24 and making 48k a year that’s good money for My age. (I would do part time so I can focus on my stock, crypto, and forex trading to replace my 9-5 money or close to it then I would fully quit to go to barber school. If they deny my part time I’ll just go ahead and go to barber school and focus on my trading too) I call out damn near twice a week and sometime I hear a voice in my head saying quit, I don’t know if it’s me or god but I’m starting to listen to it more n more. I’m trying to think about this logically and not emotionally but I refuse to be stuck in a rat race til I’m 50. I know most will think I’m dumb, some will respect me for my decision. But I’ve been battling this feeling since November 2021 and I’m not finna waste another year of my life.
