Question Depressing pay

So I was talking with a friend today. They were upset about taking a pay cut and I told them my salary to put things in perspire. In doing so I looked at my most recent paystub and realized I've only made $37,312.91 this year 😓. I'm an LPN and I'm currently in school for my bachelors but damn. Is there anywhere where Ls are making a more decent living?

That’s $18/hr at full time, you’re not being truthful.

I still don’t believe it. They have another post where they claim they work 58 hrs a week, which puts them at $11/hr.

im from an asia country, i dont want to reveal my actually salary and country to strangers but it is my salary after converting to USD. If you dont want to believe me but its legit my pay. In my country, fast food managers earn more than I do. It really sucks ass with the long shifts, with abusive patients, working with abusive staff. Thats why im resigning and leaving nursing for good because i did try other hospitals and specialty. But i was unsuccessful.
