Help with the job hunt

Hello! Are there any jobs available for someone with a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies that pays $20-25 an hour? I've been looking for a job in Davis County for 6 months. I've applied for 15+ different jobs at the school district, Costco, behavioral health places, and office jobs and I'm just not having any luck. I've had 6 interviews as well and each person has told me I interview well but they just go with a different applicant. I'm very frustrated because I have a lot of experience and I spend so much time applying for jobs, perfecting my resume and cover letter, looking polished and put together for interviews as well as practicing what I would say in the interviews. I feel like I do decently well in my interviews.

It feels as though there are way too many people needing jobs compared to the jobs that are available. I had an interview for a para position at an elementary school and they told me they had 15 interviews and went with a different applicant. It's so frustrating getting turned down multiple times after multiple interviews! Money is tight and I'm very qualified for a lot of different positions due to my previous job experience, life experience, and the fact that I have a bachelor’s degree now. I've been a Direct Support Professional, a job coach, a marketing assistant, a nanny, a waitress, and I've even spent time abroad teaching English. I'm very knowledgeable of disabilities, family issues, building rapport, communication, confidentiality, abuse and neglect, organization skills and so much more. I've worked really hard to get where I'm at and I would love a job that could fit my experience.

Any ideas or leads would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

Injection sites

I recently started tirz and was curious about what injection sites work best for weight loss, food noise, and appetite suppression. I would prefer to inject in my stomach lol but go on multiple different places around my stomach. What ones have worked best for y'all? Upper right? Lower right? Upper middle? Lower middle? Upper left? Lower left? Etc. I just want to maximize my progress!

Also what areas gave you more symptoms? Last week was my first dose and I injected on the lower right and had nausea, burning stomach pain, burping, and heartburn. It was manageable but still uncomfortable. My doc recommended papaya enzymes and ginger chews so I'm going to try those too. As well as eating smaller more frequent meals.

Nanny

Hi so I recently got hired as a nanny for a family of 4. 2 days and 20 hours a week. Most days the oldest (5) will be with the neighbor but occasionally I will watch her and they will pay me $2 extra to do so. The other three kids are 2.5 and twin 4 month old infants. They pay me $20 an hour. At first I thought this would be okay but now I'm wondering if I should get paid more... The infants need constant diaper changing, naps, feeding, bottle cleaning, tummy time, and play. Naps are hard. There's a lot of crying and trying to take care of one while the other is crying. I just had to watch the twin infants for my first couple days while the other two kids were with their grandma for the week, but next week she told me the 2.5 year old and 5 year old will be there. I'm nervous for that if I already had a hard time with just the babies. Is $22 an hour for 4 kids 5 and under reasonable? Is $20 an hour for three under three reasonable? I'm stressed that I'm getting taken advantage of but she just went back to work and told me she wanted it to be worth it to be worth it for her to go back to work. (Which is fair) I get that you don't want to have a nanny while you go back to work if you're not going to be making any extra income because you have to pay your nanny. Totally reasonable, but is that fair to me? I just feel bad because I don't want to seem greedy for money, but I also don't want to sell myself short :/ I need some advice.

Btw the family is very kind and the mom has told me she wants me to be comfortable and she gave me good resources on how to care for her children. Even set up a payroll for me.
