Should I stop telling potential jobs that I'm going for a Master's Program in the fall?

I (F23) am a recent graduate (Bachelors in Biology) and I plan on going back to school in August for a Master's. In this in-between period of my life, I'm trying to find a job in my field (lab work specifically).

I've been telling potential employers about this plan, and I'm wondering if that is why I haven't been receiving any job offers (you know, aside from the current job market issues). While I thought I was promoting myself as a student that favors learning, I'm wondering if I've been unintentionally advertising myself as unreliable for long-term employment.

When my Master's program starts in August, I won't be able to stay at the job that I am employed with.

I have another interview on Tuesday for a lab position. Should I avoid mentioning my career goals? What should I be saying instead? I don't want to straight up lie, but I'd appreciate any advice that people can give me.

Do you guys have any tips for working out?

With near-constant pain and the worry of pushing myself too far, I struggle with exercising. The problem with this is that it becomes a never ending cycle.

I’m in pain, so I don’t exercise. I don’t exercise, and my pain gets worse. So I’m looking for any tips and tricks that you guys might have on getting your exercise in without hurting yourself.

One form of exercise that I’ve heard about a lot through others with fibro is to do Yoga, but I can’t because of my hEDS.
