Hi everyone… I’ve never posted anything like this before, but I feel so lost and desperate for advice.
Me (f 36) and my husband (m 35) met when we were young. We didn’t have life figured out at all and ended up getting pregnant. With family help, we were able to get by and take care of our kid. Over the years we ended up having more kids. My husband would be the one to work and I would be the one to stay home and take care of the kids. Sometimes we would switch and he would stay home and I would work. In 2023 we both graduated college with an associates degree in IT. I was so excited and thought it was going to change our life! I got a job at a service desk and ended up hating it.. my mental health started to deteriorate so I ended up having to quit. A few months later, I got another job at a different IT help desk and unfortunately hate it and had to quit. So my husband has been the one working and I’ve been staying at home taking care of kids since. It’s getting to the point to where I need to find a part time job to help with finances. I just feel like a loser and do not know what to do. What am I going to do with my life? I went to school and now hate all the jobs I can get with my degree. I don’t know what my options are. I’m unable to go back to school because I’ve used up all my financial aid. Like maxed it out….so I just feel I don’t even know. I just feel lost and do not know my options or what to do with my life… what am I going to do with my life once I’m done being a stay at home mom? I just feel like a loser and that I’ll have to start at the bottom somewhere but I’ll never escape the bottom and I’ll just be there forever. I just want to get into a decent paying job. I want to be able to take care to my family and for us to be okay. I want to give my kids a good life. But what do I need to do to do that? I’ll do whatever I need to do I just need advice. Like do I need to move to a different state for better opportunities? If anyone has any advice please comment. I would appreciate it so much. Thank you.
