I had no idea where else to put this, so I’m putting it here.

Hi everyone, I currently am employed with a company and they pay me very well. The problem is, is that the work is not consistent. I do something along the lines of in-home care, and sometimes like in June I’ll work everyday of every week, but other times like this month, I’ll work 1-2 days a week. It’s very inconsistent, and I’ve only stayed because I enjoy what I do, and it was my first time working in this field. Unfortunately, like with most things, I am becoming burnt out. It’s a lengthy drive, inconsistent scheduling, and lack of communication at times.

***please note that this is NOT the same as in-home care, but it’s close to it. I did not wish to share detailed info. I also do not wish to make a career out of this job***

Most recently, I decided to pick up a second job, it’s part time at a retail store. Not paying as much but still extra income, I’m ready to let go of the “in-home” job. Luckily for me, I have an interview scheduled on Friday with another job, that pays almost the same amount as my retail job. It’s more hands on, and it would keep me on my toes during my shifts.

I know I’m not going to know for sure until I do the math, but I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions as to what I should do? I don’t wanna lose money by leaving a “full time” job, for one part time job and one sorta full time job. I suppose I was already losing money because of not working 40 hours a week, but I’m just confused, and please note I’m 21 so I’m still trying to learn how to “adult”. Any non-judgement advice would be great!

Update: I have a wonderful support system backing me on this, my mom & my boyfriend, but I check my phone to see this message from him and he makes all of this stress worth it ❤️ (he works as well for a good contracting company, we’re trying to get our first house!)
