I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this

I just feel so tired. To make a long story short, I had more than my fair shares of struggle in childhood. And so I feel that coupled with the hard work in my adult life, it should be easier. But it is so hard. I have a master’s degree, but my job only pays $17 an hour. And I keep applying for different jobs in the hope I’ll get something that isn’t a struggle to make ends meet. Every job I apply for though I get an email the next day saying “we’ve filled the position” or “we have decided to move forward with other applicants” how did you do that in one day since I applied? I just am so tired of struggling and I don’t want to do it anymore and it just feels like that’s all this will ever be.
