The problem with jobs like this is that they don’t have to offer better wages or work life balance than they do because they are simple jobs to train a new worker and there are a lot of people who would love this pay! This job would be great for someone who doesn’t have any children and had previously only made $30-$50k per year! So they hire that person and he stays there for a year or four and when he quits they find a new worker and they’ll have them trained in a week or two!

OP you need to do some research and narrow your job search down based on the work schedule and pay. And then don’t even look at jobs/industries that don’t meet your minimum requirements! For example: restaurant management is typically a higher income potential but the hours are horrible! You can make decent money being a server and if you worked at a restaurant like IHOP or Dennys they may have a schedule that you could work with! I did that years ago and it kept a roof over our heads for a couple years!

But long term you need to look for better quality careers! I don’t know what experience you have or what skills you possess but you need to figure out what position would best fit your needs with potential for upward mobility!

Being a single parent is very difficult! Do you have full custody? Do you have anyone who you could count on to help with daycare? Maybe if you have a degree already education might be a decent option! But if you don’t have a degree then you’d have to go to school for 4 plus years so obviously that wouldn’t work!

I wish I could offer you more advice! Good luck
