Single Mom Struggling to Find a Decent Paying Job—Feeling Hopeless! 😩

Hey everyone, I just need to vent and hopefully get some advice. I’ve been job hunting since March, and honestly, I’m exhausted. Every listing I see wants a bachelor’s degree and years of experience, but the pay is barely $35k to $45k. I’m a single mom trying to support my daughter, and in my city, you need at least $50k just to get by. It feels impossible to find anything that actually pays enough for us to live comfortably. I don’t work in tech or finance, so those high-paying jobs are out of reach. How are we supposed to survive when wages stay the same but everything else gets more expensive? I’m so stressed and honestly scared for our future. Has anyone else been through this? How did you cope or find a way out? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement. 😔 #JobCareer #JobSearchStruggles #LivingWage
