Career Change
I recently heard about Massage Therapy being a career that interests me, and I am doing everything I can to learn more about it and to see if it will work for me.
Currently, I’m having a hard time at my current job, but I have been applying to other jobs in my area that can provide me with a flexible schedule, so that I can go to school for Medical Massage Therapy.
I recently applied to a Massage Therapy Clinic to work the front desk, and it seems very likely that they will reach out for an interview, since I informed them that I will be going to school for massage therapy. They are willing to be flexible with my schedule for school, and I’ll start out part-time, which is fine, I was thinking part-time starting out would work best for me.
I’m struggling to be patient, and to wait for responses from employers. I just hate my current job so much, and I can’t just quit because I have bills to pay for, but I seriously have panic attacks daily from this job. I’m so over it, and I just want to live happily and healthily. Anyone have any advice on how I can bite the bullet and continue to work my *** job until I get a new one?

I hope that the interviews go well for you and you'll have a new job soon.
Until then, I hope you can remind yourself, this job doesn't define you 💛
Thank you for your kind words and advice 💕 You’re so right, the job does not define me
My situation right now is almost identical to yours. I’m also going through a career transition and have to work to make a living at the same time. I don’t like this job either.
I recall having intense urges to hurt myself during my first few months here, because I hated the tasks I was assigned.
Right now I’m fed up with this job. Every time I get home, I’m far too exhausted to study.
I keep telling myself: be patient, be gentle to myself. Don’t let this meaningless job drain my precious mood and energy. I try to look for anything useful here that can benefit my next career move and make the most out of this position. And I’m actively doing that.
I’ve set a deadline: next February. If I haven’t submitted applications for my target major by then, I’ll resign and look for another job.
