    I kind of feel like both are true.

    The threat of starvation and homelessness is a pretty strong coercion to keep working at all

    …but nobody’s really stopping you from job-hunting if you really hate this particular job rather than the concept of having a job at all.

    I’m not going to sit here and be like “just go back to school, get certifications, blah blah blah” because seriously fuck that. You and whose fuckin’ Time Turner?

    That said, even looking for a less-awful workplace doing the same thing you’re already doing could be an improvement in your overall mental health and life situation. A small step, maybe, but I know from myself and people around me that it can be a step.
