I finished college at 25. Found a job only loosely related to my schooling. Stayed in that job because it was at least reliable during covid.

It's been 7 years and now I can tell I'm burning out. The job hasn't kept up with inflation and it's now causing me much more stress.

I am not opposed to school, but damn i'm scared of the wasted time and money that might amount to nothing again. I just want something low stress that will allow me to survive and save some extra money for emergencies and maybe a vacation every year (heck even every few years!).

I don't feel like that's asking for much. My whole body aches today from being stressed. Sorry for the complaining. Lately I've been thinking about how the French Revolution was started over less BS than what we all deal with now lol
