This has been a struggle since I got out of college and gone out into the real world. Is a masters degree really going to serve me well? Does the degree I have now benefit me? NO.
Do I want to pay all the money that I put into having another degree? It's a struggle, one that angers me and frustrates me to no end. At this point, I'm already going to be paying back loans until I'm 40.
Do I stop now and make advances in my job and work up the latter? Take on more work?
Taking on more work or having another job wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the POTS. I can't possibly get another job, I can't afford it health-wise. I'm already hating the fact that I have to appeal for my SS. (trying not to think about how much a lawyer will be) I'm thankful for a cheaper apartment and medical assistance, but my job just does not pay enough. The worst part is that I do more work than I'm paid for and I'm over educated.
The library is a wonderful place and it's works so well for what I want in the future and for what I want to do with my life. Just how do I show I am worth the payment for the work I do? And without a library degree?
And let's talk about that appeal......
I'm not disabled enough to qualify for Social Security Supplements? HELLO HEALTHCARE!!!!!!! Have you seen what I have to go through and how much things cost????????? And the fact that I can only work a part time job does not...I repeat....does not PAY FOR THINGS!
I quote:
"We realize that you have not worked consistently, but based on your age of 23 and 16 years of education you can work."
What the hell does that mean? What sort of reason is that?
I go to the hospital or a slew of doctors at least once a year that put me out of work for a month and then it takes me a whole year just to get stable again. Knowing that it'll just happen again. That is not a healthy lifestyle SS!
