I have a terminal degree in my field and am a contract worker. Most folks practically walk off the street with no experience and can do my job. 🤷

Yeah lol I finished it last year. But I feel bad cuz I make very little money and my current contract ends in March so I’ll have to go on the job market again atarting in January and am freaking out about it - it’s the anxiety disorders talking for sure

None of the job stuff is your fault, the market sucks rn! Having a PhD at 33 is like, CRAZY work, I am so proud of you!! I am 32 and have zero education and I work at a grocery store! (and there is nothing wrong with that!) You already got the BIG BOSS degree your future is bright!
