Is there anything we can do at this point?

I’m sitting here on my break right now at 19 years old, unmarried with no children and I’m working around 80 hours per week just to stay above the water with my bills. I just started this overnight job and I’m losing motivation. I worked 10am-7pm and I’m working 10pm-6:30am then 9am-6pm tomorrow. Next week I work a 12pm-9pm then 10pm-6:30am then 7am-4pm. This is no way to live and I can’t believe we’re at the point where I have to work like a dog just to not starve to death, let alone people who have a family. Is there anything that can be done to ethically beat the system or do I just brace myself for this lifestyle indefinitely?
