i work in healthcare and I work 60hr weeks, 5 days. I want to quit all the time. I’m at work literally more than i’m at home, I’m only 23 and I feel like I have no life outside of work. i need the money though but I’m so worn out

Jesus that’s insane can you change your position in healthcare to do sm not as demanding? Not sure how healthcare related things work but PA or dermatology or sm that’s more office ans not insane hours. Or can you ask for less hours idk healthcare industry is wild for that

Like a physicians assistant? I got it off TikTok lmao if your a home caregiver I’d j search to see adjacent jobs you could do do that doesn’t require a lot of new certificates. A 60 hour work week is just insane esp at 23 imo like I respect the grind but you do need balance

ohhh okay okay, thank you! and yeah it didn’t start off for the money or working this much but once they became so dependent on me it became hard to say no bc they rely on me 5 days a week and then they increased my pay too so. but i realized im here more than im home and it’s starting to take its toll on me now 😣

Ugh so valid my friends a vet tech and also has crazy hours and wants to get out of it. It’s insane but also such important work so I see why like they rely on you too and everything.
