long story short, i was fired from a supervisor position last month and i have no experience beyond that, general customer service, and some restaurant work. i’m struggling to find anything. i apply, i might hear back, i might have an interview, and then i don’t get the job. it’s an endless cycle of disappointment and anxiety at this point, and this has pushed me to go back to school to get a degree so i can use that to (hopefully) get a job that will value my skillset vs seeing me as a disposable tool for generating capital.
am i just digging myself deeper or am i pulling myself out by doing this? i’m sure a lot of people have different, nuanced experiences so i’m open to hearing everything.
for additional context i was fired for trying to organize a union, not for any reason regarding my work ethic. i am entering the philosophy program at university with plans to obtain a masters or phd as i hear it’s hard to get work with just a BA in that area of study.
