I want to start off by saying that I don't hate my job. But, the truth of the matter is that I'm just no making enough money to make ends meet right now. Yes, I'm in school right now to get a master's degree that will hopefully help me to get a dream job one day, but at this moment, I really think it's time to take a chance and find something that pays more than what I am making right now.
I have been thinking about looking outside of senior living for something else. Don't get me wrong, I love working in senior living and that is where I want my career path to be. I have made some wonderful connections in my job. I just sat there today at work and realized that I can't put anymore of myself into what I'm doing for what I'm making. When you live paycheck to paycheck, it makes you think and often change your priorities. Also the fact that I'm taking a class on financial longevity has made me rethink so many things. I have never been good at saving, but it is never too late to start. It's just that I don't have anything left in my paycheck to save. And I want to go for a time and not worry about how I'm going to buy groceries or can I afford to fill my gas tank up at least a third of the way? It weighs on me and frankly it's driving me crazy.
So, I'm going to seriously start looking for something. There are lots of places hiring for good incomes. I have a great work ethic and am actually a very hard worker. I need to look at my resume and get that updated. That will be a good place to start. I'll keep you posted.
That is all.
