I’m currently working full time at a job that bores me and makes me depressed and wanting to cry. I tell myself it’s a stepping stone job to better things to get me through the days. I’ve only been here 10 months. It’s in my field of study after getting a bachelors and a masters.

Now I’m enrolled in an anatomy class at CC trying to completely change careers and take prerequisites for nursing/respiratory therapy programs.

The anatomy class is obviously a lot of material and my life would now revolve around work (manager letting me out 1.5 hours early) and this class.

I thought about quitting my job constantly these past few months, but I feel so guilty if I do that because my dad is currently laid off and doesn’t have a job. I feel obligated to continue in this job I dislike to help financially, even though I would like to just focus on school. I’m 24 btw and feel that I’m too old to not have a full time job or just do part time.

I feel so trapped and miserable. I’m diagnosed with mild depression as well so I’m inclined to feel even worse and sad. Idk what to do or what would be the right thing to do.
