I just started looking at this sub and everyone is saying everything I'm feeling right now and so thank you all.
Now, I work basically as a case manager for the state and it's fine but it's… I'm not happy. I help people on assistance to “become self sufficient” and more and more it feels like I'm just perpetuating the system that keeps people in poverty. I have no power, I'm just a cog, and I don't know what to do.
I want to do something meaningful but I'm not sure what direction to go. I'm an anticapitalist so any work I can think of is soul crushing. The only thing I can think of is to go back to school to become a counselor but even then I wouldn't necessarily have control over my time because of student debt.
I want to do something where I have control over my time at least. I've tried the gig thing and apparently I'm no good at it…….
Any thoughts? I know there's only so much strangers on the internet can say but I thought maybe you all would have some ideas.
