And it felt SO GOOD. It sucks because i truly enjoyed my job…. It was perfect for me but the marketing manager was too…. much? I honestly don’t know how to describe it exactly but yesterday was my breaking point…. It feels so freeing to just LEAVE and not have to take any shit anymore.

I hate working multiple jobs.

No Comments on I hate working multiple jobs.

It's difficult to get jobs in my field. The jobs that I have a chance at getting only offer 15-20 hours a week and pay $15 an hour. That's not going to pay my rent. So here I am working two retail-adjacent jobs, with higher pay, and still just getting by. Why did I go to college when entry level jobs in my field want advanced degrees, with years of experience, for minimum wage? Why do other jobs make it so difficult to get full time work and offer a living wage? Wasn't minimum wage originally intended to be a living wage?
