Like the title says, I was just congratulated by my boss for getting a 50 cent raise. 21.50 all the way up to 22.00. I have two masters degrees and am good at what I do, but have since realized I've capped out in my profession. I can't afford rent or food for my kids but am not poor enough for aid. I need to switch industries but have no idea how to go about it. I realize everyone else and their dogs are in the same situation but still I'm asking for help. Where do I start, what other options are available to me?
