    Moved to a red state nearly a year ago. Been looking for work for over a year.

    Can’t find shit.

    I have a high school education and my best lead is subbing in STEM classes. Seriously, thats what I’m currently filling out paperwork for. I have 12 years help desk, half of that medical. I can’t find shit. I don’t just mean in my field, I mean, anything that pays. I don’t think someone who phoned in their highschool education, took a C to get out of there should be teaching either. But they’re excited to have me. Yeah, terrifying.

    My other lead is to volunteer to run into fires and set up a go fund me. Not. Kidding. Actually suggested by firefighters local to me.
