Hi. A little bit of context for this post, I'm a 19-yo Brazilian that moved to live in Belgium, spent a whole year learning the language and was set one year back because of wanting to study electricity, which is a technical subject, so I couldn't skip a year. 2022 was supposed to be my last year, but I was certain I couldn't make it in the school I was studying in and since switching schools isn't allowed when you're in the last year of studies here, I chose to skip this year altogether to avoid wasting time.
I had gotten a “half time” job at the place I was going to do my internship. All good till there. At first I wanted to work for 3 days a week, make some money and try to study programming by myself, but I was a little greedy and wanted to see if I could manage 4 days a week and still have the time to study and do other stuff. In my first week there, I worked the best I could, despite having a hard time understanding most of the dialect my superiors spoke and figuring out what they wanted me to do.
Problem begins there: I had lived pretty sedentarily until then, so I had a couple problems adapting to the workload, having to walk around the production line, lifting heavy cables, dealing with the huge amounts of accumulated dust that were on them, etc. I had my both my feet's skin be peeled off by blisters by the first 2 days of work there. Doctor gave me 2 days of time off and popped the blisters, and I went back to work, for 3 more days when I got an infection in my throat because of the absurd amount of dust that would make my nose be black by the time I got home.
I had then realized that 4 days a week was too much for me to adapt to quickly, so I asked for the contract to be changed to 3 days a week, when they then fired me a day later.
Anyways, am I the one in the wrong for having a bad immune system? It's always been a problem. Should I find a less taxing job? Should I give up on working during this time off I have and focus more on studying? Should I look for another job?
I needed to vent this somewhere and honestly just want you guys' advice, please be kind.
