Thought this belonged here. Special education is one of the most exploitative fields to work in. Folks with masters degrees working 60 hours a week are making 40-60k if that, while being constantly berated by employers. Behavior technicians and paras work on the front lines dealing with severe problem behaviors, all while barely making minimum wage. Anyone else in the anti work movement in sped?

My work history is this: get a job that is underpaid, work hard, burnout, get resentful, quit, then have to scramble to find another also low paying job, repeat cycle My work history is extensive and varied. I’ve always been sort of a free spirit and I do not dream of labor. I have mental illness which I am working really hard on managing, but I am trying to be more proactive about avoiding burnout so when I interviewed with my current job and they mentioned that there would be no overtime required and everything that I had to do could be managed within work hours I was stoked. I felt like for once I wasn’t just scrambling for a check. But then I started working, and within a month my boss started dropping hints about various coworkers who like to stay late so they can finish up tasks or…

Hey. I'm looking to unplug from the system more and more. I've got one piece of the puzzle solved. I'm self-employed. I'm a contractor/skilled trade/whatever you want to call it. I work on people's houses. I make about… $300-800 a day. $300 is a kind of light day, could be done in as little as 2 hours. $800 I'm busting butt pretty much the whole day. I live in a MCOL area. Florida to be exact. It's DEFINITELY not as cheap as it once was… actually, the exact location I'm at is not cheap at all… it's not California expensive but it's not inexpensive I'm definitely going to have to move to another city if I want to make this dream a reality. ​ I'm thinking of moving about an hour away and just commuting to my work service area. Spending like 100-150k (150k absolute max. the less the better…

Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I'm a fan anyways. I just feel really demotivated man. I did the math on a job offer (mind you, it's the only offer I got) for a bookkeeping role. I got offered $15.50. I guess I shouldn't complain because it's something and I don't want to sound entitled, but damn, I got a bachelor's in accounting and worked so hard for years and got many different paid certifications just to work for this amount. I did the math and I'd be paid pretty lowly after taxes at the end of the year, around ~$26,000. Just want to vent and ask how people do it out there with degrees, bills, and such low pay. I got a month of LinkedIn premium and ANY position I saw that was entry-level, I noticed people with YEARS of experience and MBA's, master's degrees, and even…

Long story short. I was telling my boss how inflation is starting to kill me, relocating for my job the past 6 month raised my rent more than I expected, and not sure what I’ll do when student loans start again. Anyway, they were insistent I probably make more then them after considering their child support and wife not working (both self inflicted wounds). Anyway not only do they own their house in a booming market, they just bought another vacation home, with straight up cash. I can’t even afford to save for a down payment on a house. What do these people not understand?
