I'm sorry if this is a dumb or insensitive question. My mom is recovering from a recent hip replacement surgery, and while it's less painful to walk than before she still can't walk for very long or very far. Unfortunately we have to go out tomorrow, no getting around it, and I was wondering if it was alright to use a handicapped space when parking. We don't have a disability placard since this is temporary and I don't want to look like an asshole.

I don't mean this to sound condescending! I'm genuinely wondering because I don't think my degree is going to be very helpful in getting a job in the field. (English major graduating soon; I was originally a bio major but for lots of reasons that didn't work out, and my only way to stay at this school was to switch my major to something my grades showed I was good at.) What do I do? Last time I asked a question here someone suggested I shadow at a funeral home. Would I have a chance at being able to do so with this degree?

Thanks, all replies are appreciated!
