So, I'm looking at revamping my schedule or potentially working with someone else. Which schedule would you take?

So, I work with this adult age woman who is non verbal and in a vegetative state. Her condition is getting worse but per all medical professionals it's due to her mother not following through with needed treatment. Anyways, because of this I have been going to over several appointments with the patient. Per doctor's she needs surgery but mom doesn't want that. It's becoming a bit draining. But it's steady consistent income. Also, I'm couped up in the patients house all day 4 days a week 7a-7pm steady income. I'm wondering if I should just cut down on hours or leave. The option is a client that is monday-friday 7a-3pm (I would go to school and on field trips) i am familiar with them. Thoughts?

The reason why I agreed on going in the first place because my father is mentally draining, not only does he use physical force as discipline, but he is emotionally unavailable, and he just has it out for me. He drains my energy, and we don't get along. I'm usually in my room all day until he leaves for work.

I decided to come here to get away from everything else in my life. I already struggle from bullying at school, and I hate having to come home and deal with my father who is no different from my bullies at school.

I don't mind being where I am right now, it's a third world country but I don't care. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I may have to stay here for two years to get my high school diploma.

I am very behind in math's and science; I can't even do basic mental math. I know I'll be incredibly embarrassed because everyone here is at a very high academic level.

• My parents got me a tutor here and they told me today that I will be held back and will have to study to catch up. They told me I have a week left to decide if I want to continue to stay. And honestly, I don't think I have a choice, if I go back to my "real" home I think I will actually k*ll myself.

Currently, I’m not making enough at my job because my boss “can’t afford” to give me 30+ hours a week, and with the pay I have I’m spending more than I make on just rent and food. I have some options but I’m struggling on what to do. I don’t want to quit this job because I really, really like it but it’s looking like it’s not sustainable right now

I do lolz. It's the 4th and the bar will be packed. I'd love to be out with friends but the money is too good to pass up on a busy holiday. Anyone else work holidays?

For context the picture I posted was fron today I had to do a lot of digging through a company's inventory for stuff literally ALL DAY by the end of it I was exhausted. Luckily my co-worker was there to help be even then we were done.

Like I know girls who work 12-14 hour days to get social status and money, apparently this is normal for grad students and investment employees. I don’t understand it. I do light work when I exceed 6 hours. If it is heavy work it’s usually under 4 hours a day.

Hi. I turned 23 this year. I dont have any college degree. I dropped out about 2 years ago because i was unmotivated and i was not passionate at all of what i was studying for, but im getting older and time doesn't stop for anyone.

I can't keep waiting because the fact that i have wasted 5 years of my life for the mere fact that i dont know what i want, is getting more ridiculous and embarrassing each year. Lately i cannot stop thinking about going back to college. I have to choose a path this time because at least i know where i would be going. Last time i went to college i just chose a certain study but didn't know what it was for.

My mom is a nurse and have been telling me to study nursing. This is only because i keep telling her i dont know what i want. Years ago i’d just ignore her, but I've just been stuck and need to move forward, so i have started to actually think about being a nurse. It seems to pay enough. I dont have a kid, or any major bills i have to spend money on. So it seems good enough for me.

I have a lot on my mind. Like how hard it might be, the classes, the actual job, and im scared of going to college again, but i realize i have to try because the other option is staying where i have been my whole life and its draining the life out of me. My friends have graduated, moved places, getting real jobs, and im still the same as i was at 18.

I have a boyfriend (somehow) who loves me and is supportive of me. He made me realize I've just been making excuses to not go back. That im just scared of failing (typical). I was surprised he gave me a little tough love lol. I have nothing else going on in my life. I know some people dont need college to succeed but i know im not one of those people.

Am i right/wrong to just wanna pursue nursing for this reason? Im guessing even if i regret it, it won't be a bigger regret than staying where i am at right now. Right

In my defense I was rushing with the black ink
