So I am currently a Chemical Operator at a company in a small boring booze filled town. I make 28$ an hour with overtime bringing in around 60-80k a year. I’ve been here for 2 1/2 years and it’s not a horrible job. I do work a southern swing shift and it is killing me. I am going through a divorce aswell I don’t know if it’s related. Getting myself to work is painful everyday and I’m getting tired of dealing with hazardous chemicals everyday. This week I have to work 3pm-3am Tuesday through Saturday night and be back Monday morning for 3am. I am just feeling like I’m not where I want to be in life at all. I want to do something that benefits the world around me. Something that isn’t actively harming my health as well. My rent is going from 1400 to 565 by moving to a cheaper place so I can afford a bit of a pay cut. I don’t know. Is it worth it to go from 60-80 to 40-50? I feel like if I left it’d be a huge mistake but I don’t know how much longer I can do this for. I’m tired of hating my life for 60-72 hours a week.
