I think I need a new job
I like my job. Really, I do.
However, I also like making more than $60 a week.
Even with some really generous estimating, I'm making something along the lines of $5000 a year. Really generous, mind you.
It's borderline infuriating. I absolutely love what I'm doing, but it's tough to find anything resembling satisfaction in a 5 hour work week.
I mean, I have essentially no expenses. I don't pay rent, I don't pay for food, none of it. And still, I can say pretty confidently that I'm not gaining any money. Just the costs of day-to-day living are pretty much balancing out anything I'm making.
Lately I've been talking to my parents about insurance. The best plan I've found so far costs about $120 a month for me. That's something like a third of my income.
I was hoping that, if nothing else, I could just kinda coast on this until June. I figured maybe I'd make a little money and ultimately be in a situation where I might be able to afford moving out by then. As it turns out, it's looking more and more like I might be lucky to break even at this rate.
I can't help but feel like I need something more than this.
And yet, I feel like it's bound to be tough looking for a part time job. It's bound to be tough looking for something I can work until 2:00 at the latest. Having one job does a lot to complicate finding another job.
