[Against_the_current]

In dead end. At home mom drinks and spamms me, soon i will lose this place here, i graduated and i have to get a job, i have a job interview for a shop on Monday but i haven't gotten my document that i graduated master's degree because i overslept but the interview is at home city on Monday. My family prefers me to work with my degree tho not in a shop. I haven't told them but i asked hypothetically. I couldn't find a job in my field tho

Hi AtC,You'll take what you can get, and that's exactly what you're doing by doing this interview l. I'm proud of you for that!👍

You're young; there's plenty of time to get a job in your field.

Can I tell you something funny (well, sort of)? I was not much old than you are when I worked at a high school. My students weren't all that much younger than I was. It made for some pretty interesting stories....

I bet. I had two internships at a highschool. They thought im a new student

[Alpakka123 in reply to Against_the_current]

That must have been really frustrating!

It was okay but the guys flirting with me, not knowing im an adult, almost got me in trouble. It's hard to explain "the kid was grooming me, not vice versa". It's funny though. I had a classmate and she's quite buff but she was like "can someone come with me to the WC, I'm scared of the 2m tall 9th graders"

It's funny when another teacher assumes you are a student and tells you off in a corridor full of kids!

Your family's preference for you to work with your degree does not need to influence your decision. You can start at this job and continue applying to positions related to your degree. When something comes along, you can leave. It would be great to see how you do working at the shop before jumping into a job using your degree. It would be good for just starting out.

Indeed. I'm not used to working what comes full time and what comes with troubled people when im troubled. I need therapy to work, i need money for therapy and i need work for money. It's messed up. But i guess i can use my savings. I'm really not okay. I'm overthinking everything. Everything is walking on eggshells and playing chess. I'm burnt out. But i have to either get my documents or go to the interview. Also the interviewer asked me if i am just searching for a job for the summer and i said no. I would feel bad. If only i had taken this document earlier. But i still can go on the interview and ditch the document and get it later but i would have to travel to homecity then back here then back there. Also i will have to arrive either on Sunday night or Monday morning. Ah but to not show up, i would have to call and make up something and im scared to

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Against_the_current]

Can you get the document sent to you? or send a cab to pick it up? Never mind not using your degree for now; try to think of the job as therapy. It will certainly distract you - and you'll have a pay check of sorts.

Hope the interview goes well! Your family should be happy you are looking for a job even if not in your field. At least you would be bringing in money. As others stated there is plenty of time to find one in your field when it becomes available.
