Antiwork

So think this is the right place for this post. I like many people got my college degree without knowing what i wanted to be and have ended up working in insurance for the last decade. I dont like my job but it pays the bills and gives me health insurance (im type one diabetic). I realized I wanted to work in conservation maintaining and planning out parks and trails. None of the entry level jobs come with health insurance and the jobs that do require 2 years minimum experience in the field or a masters degree. So now im stuck, i either quit my job and start in conservation rationing my insulin and hoping i get a full time job before i run out, or spend all my savings and go to school while working a full time job. It just sucks being tied to health insurance.

My sick mother just text me that she “tried” to call out sick because she is and that her job would not let her. She's a boomer obviously and doesn't understand that $13/hr isn't enough to sacrifice your health for. Now the reason they won't let her is because they have no employees hmm I wonder why…. So the owner doesn't want to be there to do their job. I am trying to show her the light and let her know she's got them by the balls at the very least she deserves a raise. Any ideas on how to convince her to stop being a slave?

What yall tryna do?
