From 18-21, I was married & worked multiple jobs that society deemed “acceptable”.
Filed for bankruptcy at the age of 25.
Nearly 35 now (& single), supporting myself with extra income to help others in need.
But go off about how sex work isn’t a real job & how older SWs struggle.
Working 40 hrs/wk at $9/hr in customer service was more degrading and soul-sucking than anything I’ve experienced in SW. Please tell me how making 4+ figures/hr doing something you already do for free is degrading? Oh right — it’s not; society is just full of sh*t.
Don’t get me started on management jobs. The rate they want to pay people to be middle management (absolutely the worst) is laughable; I’d rather get paid less for less of a headache every day. Working for yourself is the ultimate achievement and many people are jealous of us.
