I know I can but I can’t quite go in person anywhere because I might go to another state to get my masters in a month and I’ll have to quit so they won’t hire me again. So I am applying to things but also the job market sucks I can’t find anything

Ohhh okay I see. Maybe if you go to another uni for your masters you can apply for a job in that town? Or maybe a campus job?

Yeah it’s just everything is up in the air rn. My parents don’t want me to go out of state but then I’m not even really accepted anywhere, like I know a program in state that will take me but I hope to god I don’t go to that one. I wanna go to the out of state one but idk if they will accept me

Honestly I’ve heard a lot about how important it is to move away from your home town. It’s important for personal growth. So it’ll be a great personal growth experience to go out of state. I’m planning to my masters abroad and I’m really excited

For example I got a job that was late nights it was from 3am-9am or 3am to 11am which I’m okay with but they said no. Now I got a retail job where the store is open weekends and like evenings. My parent want me home in the evenings, they want me home on the weekends, so it’s not something any employer wants to hear and I can’t find a job that will satisfy that. Also I go to the gym 2 hrs a day non negotiable, my parents hate how I go after work in evenings

I wanted the morning job the 3am job so that I’d be back home by the evenings like they wanted. But yk they won’t let me do anything and nothing can make them happy

Damn that’s awful I’m sorry to hear that. I know it’s easier said than done but def try to build your own life and independence separate from them for ur mental health’s sake. Make sure you have a savings account and add a little bit from each paycheck. Start looking for a job and a place to live in the town where you’ll do ur masters. Living with roommates lowers ur rent too. I know it’s easier said than done tho. Wishing u best of luck
