Sorry to hear things have been tough. Honestly, I think not knowing or having passion for anything is the biggest problem with getting out of that kind of situation. I hated college with passion, I made zero friends, felt lonely whole time, and didn’t care at all about tech. I forced myself to finish, but now work a job I hate and am still lonely and depressed with no idea what I want out of life, and am still hung up on trying to look cool to women and failing miserably each time I actually talk to one.
Guess my point is, I don’t think the biggest problem is your work now, but knowing what you want to do. If you don’t know what you want and just chase after anything, you won’t be happy and might make things worse going in a direction you really hate.
Retail is fairly toxic in general, imagine a bunch of managers who think they're failed billionaires acting like they're kings and queens. It makes you realize how pathetic they are. But the smarter you work and the more you maintain integrity the easier it is to advance. It takes a while but it is possible.
You’re young. You have lots of time to make whatever changes you want. But don’t quit a job right now, unless you have another one lined up. Good luck, be patient, better days are on the horizon.
What area are you in in the country? OP check out Property management! I was in the EXACT same boat as you and have worked my way up to making $150k per year. Please feel free to dm me- you are not alone!
