I don't know if this a question or I just need to vent
I live in an area that has one of the highest unemployment areas in Australia, where one job can get over 200 applicants. I'm stuck in a dead end casual job that I HATE to the point I just want to call up sick every time I'm roster on and I don't care if my boss sacks me.
The thing is i just can't quit my job or be sacked as like everyone else I have a mortgage, bills and kids to pay for and it took me over 6 months to get a job and will probably be just as long to find another one and for me to get career I have to go back to take/Uni which I can't afford.
I've spoken to my husband and he knows how I feel. But how can I leave a job when I don't know what I even want to do as a career. I'm in my mid 20s so I'll still young.
What would you do?

I'm in the same boat right now, I'm in a job where I work 9-5 Tuesday to Saturday's and I'm hating the Saturday work as I miss spending time with my kids and partner and 2 women where I work have nasty attitudes it makes me not want to go.. I too can't just quit due to bills etc.. I have no advice as I'm seeking the same answers but I hope things get better for you
Keep applying for other jobs while you keep the one you have and think outside the square when applying. In desperation I took a night shift factory job, put in the hard yards and ended up manager of one of the departments. It's not a career I ever envisioned myself in and it has its ups and downs but for the most part it suits me and my skill set.
