Hey, I have worked in pharma for a while and things aren't working out. I have considered nursing on and off for a few years now but I fear my gpa is too low for UofT's program (it's a 3.3). Before you call me out, yes I am partially making this post out of fear.
I have been trying to learn to drive for a decade. I think this is an apt description of my life overall.
I have a middling gpa (3.3) in biology in canada (less opportunity to fix this than USA). I have been put on a deserved performance improvement plan at work. I work in pharma and have for 5 years. I feel that my career is at a dead end. I am just stuck. I can't see past this. I can't eat but miraculously I can sleep. I have lost 5 pounds in 1 week.
I wake up every morning and call the suicide help line before work but I can't even find solace in that. My parents are aging. My father is sick, my mother works a job that can barely cover the bills.
I feel that I am drowning. I want to know what sort of jobs I can even do in canada
Hi guys, I am writing to you today because I don't know what to do with my life anymore (and I have the suspicion I am just trying to run from my problems).
I have about 5 years experience in pharmaceuticals and have been placed on a PIP at work (by my own fault). I am 28 and still live at home due to the fact working in pharmaceuticals ties me to live in the gta and I can't afford much in terms of housing here on the salary I make. I used to do laboratory work before but that was also a poor fit.
My degree is in bio with a minor in psych (which I was ambivalent about). I do have experience with kids (I used to work summer camps and also did tutoring for low income kids for a spring-summer years ago before my depression got to me and I stopped showing up).
Lately I have been considering starting over with a BSW. I am not sure what attracts me about social work. I don't think my current job really deals with people though I guess we do get complaints from them. Anyway sorry if this is more of vent post. Should I uproot my life like this?
Edit: forgot to add my parents are getting older and my undergrad gpa was middling (I think a 3.3) at best which is partially why I am in the position that I am
