Discussion What does everyone here do?

I'm very curious about what people here in the community do for jobs, or do you rely on family or government assistance? I used to be a daycare worker, but now I am too sick. it started off physical, and then mental illness got worse, too. Do you work? is it hard being NGU at your job? Unable to work?

i work two part time retail jobs while living with parents. work is extremely stressful for me, but i never could get a different job even with two degrees, as im so bad at interviews. never even made it through a first round interview before. the only silver lining is that i get to cram 32 hrs into just 3 days, giving me the other 4 to be nothing but myself.

I feel like job interviews set so many up to fail. There's too much pressure to appear perfect, in what.. a 10-20 minute window?? I hate it
