<prompt> Human: Cut and dry I have an income problem and I really hope you guys can point me towards some better earning fields because so far nobody else has been able to.I made the mistake of pursuing an undergrad degree that was useless on its own but I didnt think so at the time in a field I grew to resent thinking I would get into graduate school after college and be able to earn a decent living because blablabla hardwork narrative. Unfortunately my best was not good enough and on top of financial inability I just dont cut it for getting into any graduate programs.After graduating I spent roughly 8 months unemployed before getting two temp jobs back to back data entry and admin accounts payable those were about 3 and 4 months each, another 8 months unemployed after that before I got hired at my current job.Ive been at this current position receptionist for 1 year and 5 months, got a raise during my yearly review but it was for 50 fucking cents. Thats the maximum they could give me since the raises are fixed and percentage based. I was able to save up just enough to move away from my abusive mother and got out the moment I could. Let me be clear; going back is not an option and I would gladly kill myself rather than subject myself to that horror again.Since I live in a very high CoL area I make just enough to keep myself afloat and usually nothing more. Im utterly exhausted by the end of the work day, lately Ive been considering skipping meals not just to save money but the effort of cooking as well. Most of the time I wouldnt even dare think of buying microwaveable food to take the strain of cooking off me physicallymentally because I just cant afford the difference in price, forget about take out. Ive actually been digging into my savings account slowly as some months just seem to take more than I make to get through.I know plenty of people do work and school at the same time but even if I could get financial assistance for schooling I just dont think I have it in me to do that anymore. Hell its hard for me to get out of bed and shower even on the weekends, sometimes Ill sleep as much as 14 hours and it does nothing, Im just as exhausted the next week and so on and so on. So PF Im at the end of my rope here, Ive checked in with just about every career or depressionsuicide related sub there is at one time or another and nobodys been able to give me a realistic path forward. This is not living and I dont think Im strong enough to pull myself out of this hole on my own. Is there anything I can do to improve my situation here? Some career path I might have overlooked where I can make more money with my current qualifications? Im constantly looking at job postings and I never meet any of the requirements, makes me wonder how I got this job in the first place... Moving out somewhere with a lower cost of living would be desirable but Im bound to public transportation and Ive got just about the cheapest living situation possible in my current city. Which really is going to be my undoing because every day its getting harder and harder to resist the urge to throw myself on the tracks instead of going in to work or back to my shitty shared apartment.EDIT: Anonymized copy of my resume here for qualifications.  <response>: Perhaps you were speaking figuratively, but if you are considering suicide or know someone who is considering suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 immediately.
