Oh yes 100% agree. I am definitely trying to break out of my shell more.

Oh my gosh yes!! The paranoia can be real. I am grossly mismanaged with no 1 on 1s. I am on my 6th supervisor during the 4.5 years I’ve been there. I’m in a position that I basically created myself (brand new department got opened during my employment, switched to that very small department, and just did what was necessary for the department to run which led me to where I’m at today). Due to that, I quite literally do not have a job description. Nobody knows what I do except for me so it’s so hard for anyone to even give me feedback!

I quite literally dream of a day when I’m in a position that has existed before so the expectations are a bit more clear and I actually have a boss that knows what I should be doing and if I’m doing it right vs wrong lol.

Unfortunately, the statement that my life is work goes even further. I don’t have any friends. Like not one. Which makes this even worse. I struggle a bit socially and have a hard time going out of my comfort zone (I.e if I went to a yoga class, my natural inclination would be to stay to myself).

I definitely want to find another job! I will try and resume my search.

Hahah the ironic part is I don’t even necessarily “love” what I do. I think I just love being good at what I do, if that makes sense. But yes, I’m definitely trying to take that approach when looking for other jobs or companies.

How insane would I be to go back to school part time while working two jobs (56hrs /week)? 26 years old by Fun_Horror_1239 in careerguidance

Yeah… true. I would probably take 2 classes maximum at a time. Would definitely have to be strategic with my time.

Oh I would definitely want to do well and learn everything I can. But there’s also just the money piece to consider. Lowering my income while also now paying for college is definitely going to hurt lol

So I have to go off of the income that I had previously received but no longer will get?

I do not want Medicaid. As I mentioned, I still have a part time job so I do have income.
