I feel stressed and depressed and i don't know where else to put this.
I work at a school full time and we no longer get any raises ever since COVID began… I barely make ends meet as everything gets more expensive and my pay stays at 10 dollars an hour… They don't want to raise wages and give us bonuses which only help temporarily and they have given us one bonus for the first year of COVID and no more
No matter where i apply if you don't know someone higher up you won't get the job no matter the experience you have in the city i live in.
I wasn't able to go to college or trade school since i had to work full time before i even finished high school cause i already had to pay bills
Luckily where i am renting the rent is like 400 dollars but if it goes any higher or i get told to move out to another place i am most likely going to be homeless
I feel like the only way to improve is to leave this city but i can't even afford to leave the city..
