Well, I didnt even get an application. I rushed to the unemployment application to pick up an application to fill out and go through a preliminary interview before being referred to Tyson and have an interview scheduled. Turns out they only hand those out in the morning and they are limited only 5 per day. You have to get there very early in the morning to ensure you are first in line. Here's my problem, the unemployment office doesn't open until 8am and I have to be at the farm at 8:15. This won't work unless I can somehow fib my way to having an entire day off. They already know that I am going to the audiologist on Wednesday. Maybe if the Audie thinks I need HAs I can explain the situation to my aunt and her husband and ask for a day off to go get work at Tyson for the insurance to help pay for the HAs hoping that I would be on nights so that I could continue on the farm while my aunt's husband is out having back surgery as he has ruptured discs. I can work both jobs tO put back money for school.
 
^^^OMG! Yikes and a half!

I hope you're able to make it through that obstacle course.

To me, two jobs is nothing.

I've worked 4 jobs (two full time, two part time) while going to school part-time and raising a kid as a single parent. (Thank God for family!) It was stressful, but I made it through OK. I decided to cut down on jobs because I got one with insurance, benefits, better pay, and still allowed me to go back to school part-time. That's the job I'm trying to go back to. Plus it allows me freedom to spend time with my DD and gives me freedom to go have a bit of fun on weekends if I choose to.

On the farm, I just work. That's it. I don't get to spend time with my DD, I don't get to go to school part time, and it's a 6-day a week job with no insurance, no benefits, no paid time off, nothing. I feel like I'm going in circles on the farm. I don't want to spend the next 10 years on the farm. I don't want to be right where I'm at now because I can't get off the farm.

My aunt believes this farm is the best thing for me. She thinks I won't find a better job outside the farm and sometimes I wonder if she tries to find ways to keep me on the farm.

Tell your aunt that the farm is not your lifelong career dream!

I dont blame you about not wanting to be stuck at a dead end job for the rest of your life. That was how I felt after working 3 years at Farmer's Insurance. I saw no future for me so I got the hell out of there to go back to school full time at 23 years old. It meant losing $2,000 a month in salary to $0 a month which was a lot of money to a 23 year old. A big big big gamble and I dont regret it.

Follow your heart and take the risks. They will pay off in the long run.
