I don’t know what to do now

I graduated in 2020 at the height of the pandemic with an English degree. In the two years since I’ve been hopping from job to job, nothing has stuck. A lot of it is because most of these jobs don’t pay enough, sometimes it’s a toxic work culture. Sometimes both. Even my highest paying job still didn’t give me enough. And I’m so tired. Tired of toiling away for so little. Tired of trying to explain this to boomer parents who refuse to listen. Tired of seeing everything get worse and being gaslit about it. This whole system is rotten to the core.
