As much as I really do enjoy learning and going to school, I am about ready to rip my eyeballs out. I want it over. done. kaboosh. I have learned enough this year, and will learn no more. Three weeks until a break, but then three weeks and back to school. And why? So I can make the exact same amount of money I am now but put different letters after my name. Couldn't I have just paid for those letters somewhere? I mean, letters are actually free, aren't they?
Telling myself that I knew going into it that I was not going into social work for the money is not helping any more. People with high school diplomas are freaking making twice as much as me. Most of this is physical labor, but so what? I could use the exercise.
What the hell is wrong with our society, though? Social workers get crapped on daily by society, and we then get paid with that crap (at least they are re-using). I would hate my job now, but I could have gone to school for business or something, and at least have some savings now. But no, look at me, I'm helping people. Which I guess it is actually good that I have connections, because I might not be able to afford to eat next month. Okay, so slight exaggeration, but I'm not kidding about the part where I will be making as much with my MA as I am with my BA... in what alternate reality does that make sense. Sometimes I hate my life...
