Girl, I feel you! That warehouse job sounds draining, both physically and mentally dealing with rude coworkers. A few things you can try:

- Update your resume and start applying to jobs in your field, even if it feels like a step down from your degree. Getting experience is important.

- Reach out to your university career center for resume help or to see if any alumni are hiring. Those connections can help.

- Consider short-term options like tutoring (online if needed), babysitting/nannying, pet sitting, etc. for flexible side income.

- Talk to your landlord - maybe they'd accept partial rent if you get a lower paying job first as you transition. Or see if family can help short-term.

- In the meantime, try to keep your chin up at the warehouse. Avoid coworker drama as much as you can. Use any down time to job hunt!

- You got this girl! Your degree has value even if it's not obvious yet. This phase won't last forever as long as you stay determined. Keep pushing - something better is out there for you!

Thanks! Great answer its so nice that you could understand my situation i just got to keep going. I've updated my cv and its looking really good

You’re welcome and that's what's up luv, keep your head high! Update that CV and get it out there. And don't forget about smaller local spots too - like family businesses, doctors offices, even hitting up the town facebook groups. Word of mouth is so clutch sometimes.

In the meantime, try spending your warehouse breaks online chilling in some job forums or alumni groups on facebook. You never know who might see your posts venting or asking for advice. Just staying active could lead to an opportunity.

You're gonna crush it, just hang in there a little longer. And remember - it only has to work once. Soon as you land the right gig, peace out of that warehouse so fast! In the meantime, blast some good tunes on the headphone to get through the days. You've got this sis!

The people are insufferable and they are much older so I find it hard to relate to the people as well

I was walking to work and I could see one of my colleagues gave me an awkward wave then proceeded to speed up on the way to work I feel people are so too faced so sick of feeling bad about myself

Find another job or put up with it

[Asker]

I’m updating my cv this morning. I feel so awkward because of the atmosphere with this job I’m in right now and I can not bare it anymore

[boggboss]

Well u have too or quit and find another job u don't really have options if their is no ability to report them

[Asker]

I’m on the edge to quit the people make feel so bad about myself because of the way they act towards each other. I was walking to work and I could see one of my colleagues give me an awkward wave then proceeded to speed up on the way to work I feel people are so too faced so sick of it. Other agency jobs weren’t so bad the people were much more friendly

[boggboss]

Seems u might need to be more resilient as u will always find people like that

[Asker]

Yes absolutely true
