I’m terrified
of leaving the secure job I have now. It may only be as a bartender but I rake in quite a bit of dough for the amount of hours I work and my boss really likes me and needs me, from what I can tell.
But I can’t do it anymore. I’m sick of the people - they’re getting really comfortable with me and abusing my generosity while giving me nothing monetarily in return. I want my weekends back. I want a 9-5 so that I can start sleeping normally and feel less exhausted all the time. I want to have a consistent schedule so I can go to the gym and adequately train my puppy.
I want a career I enjoy and feel like I’m making a difference as well as am constantly learning from.
I need change but I’m terrified. My loans are coming due at almost $500 a month. My rent is $800 and I have other bills on top of that. While I make a decent amount right now, I’ve put in a request to begin only working on the weekends so that I can focus on my job search during the week but it will cut my tips in half.
I suppose I’ll just have to suffer temporarily in order to gain something greater in the long run, eh?
