After 15 years of working in a family business, I finally built up the nerve to quit tonight. After an extremely busy night of being left to shoulder 3 positions as a “manager” while getting paid a disproportionate wage, I finally relinquished my store keys, asked to be removed from the schedule, and left. I'm looking to immediately begin my job hunt, but there's just one problem: I don't even know where to begin, I have no personal experience with the job market after having been brought to work as a teenager and never walking away to find a career.

I am even still doing massage on weekends, despite the pain and resentment I feel for it. Due to a car payment I took on when I was making over twice the hourly income I am now, I can’t afford to even eat after paying my bills. My boyfriend has spent everything he has trying to allow me to work a job I enjoy. I work 40 hours a…

I think it’s horrible, what I’ve heard about the New York mayor and others, now Biden… Work from home is the future, embrace it FFS. I don’t want to be forced to pay hundreds if not thousands in travel I could spend on rent and food and …. My life.
