I’m applying for new jobs every day, but nothing seems to be working out. Maybe it's because of the holidays? Regardless, I’m working on another degree, but it’ll take me another year to finish, and I’m feeling so stuck. I can’t afford to take a big pay cut, but my current job is draining me. How do you keep going when you’re this exhausted and overwhelmed?

Being overwhelmed is so real, especially when you’re balancing work and a degree. It's a hard spot to be in, but remember that it's only temporary.

Set your sights on the goal (end of the year). Keep applying to jobs.
I left and took a pay cut. It seemed like a big deal at the time, but I changed my spending and I now have perks that out way the pay (ability to attend appointments and flex my time & virtual work hours).
I was also able to negotiate extra vacation because the salary was not exactly what I wanted.
It will eventually happen. Good luck!

What keeps me going sometimes is just contemplation of a Beckett line: "I can't go on, I'll go on." That's it, I just have to suck it up and keep going. If you're exhausted, that's understandable. But, try to rest up and get back to it when you can. Persistence is your friend. You'll find something better, but only if you're out there looking.
