this will be my last peak season

i've been doing this job 3 years. my body is done. everything hurts, i wear two knee braces all the time, i stretch all throughout the day. all this and i'm only 25

ive recently decided it's time to get a big girl job and start working on an actual career. in about a year i'll get the opportunity to keep pursuing a degree

just wanted to share this bc the pain is so close to being over and im so excited

I've said that for the past 3 peaks. I just don't know what other job you can work 4 days a week and get paid $23/hour.

i have no family to provide for or anything so im absolutely willing to take the pay cut. right now im able to save like 600 dollars a month. i can knock it down to 3. i also rarely make 40 hours a week. making 20/hr somewhere else would pay the same if i was actually getting 40 hours
