This whole situation sucks. I can't find a decent job, and even tho the whole period was ok for us, as my mom got a better salary and I didn't have many things to waste money on, I still feel bad for not having a job. And in my field (with bachelor and master's degree) I can only get the minimum wage.

Yep, I lost my job.
My facility had been doing poorly financially prior to the pandemic. Then, the pandemic hit our area. I was laid off,  others got paycuts. I can't find a new job that pays decently or offers benefits despite my credentials.

Or, they're unfamiliar brands. Sometimes I even see products in other languages,  like maybe they're importing products.
Yeah, I see that too. I had to order Puffs online because the stores either didn't have them, or they only had the square boxes, which are a pain to get them out of, especially when half asleep!

That really does suck, Dye. I know a couple people with their bachelors, who couldn't get decent job & this was before Covid-19. Keep trying, things will get better, sweetie.

Yeah, the minimum wage before covid is also my situation. Now I can't even get that minimum. Thank you for the kind words!

I hate the people with Bachelor's degrees & even post-graduate work get paid less than people without degrees.
Seriously, I have post-graduate work, passed 2 board exams, but when I was working I got paid less than a janitor I know & less than a carpenter I know....I know money isn't everything, but it sucks to spend all that money on school & supervised practice hours to then make less money than people who didn't.

Yup, totally feel you. I would never judge people with jobs that don't require uni studies, but I do get frustrated when I could just as easily work at a supermarket and be paid better than being a physical therapist.

Yes! Especially in this weird economy. My hospital laid off almost all of the physical therapists, 1 of 2 speech therapists, and many other important allied health workers. Then, all the other healthcare facilities around me are furloughing or laying off workers and having hiring freezes.  Then, when I apply to work at a supermarket, I'm "overqualified."

FYI, for those of you not in healthcare, hospitals are not making money from COVID. Many are losing money due to increased cost of PPE and due to decreased income from outpatient services & elective procedures, like joint replacement & bariatric surgery. Not to mention, insurance companies seem to never pay the hospital for the full cost of treatment.

Oh, hospital workplace. Idk about your country, but here, if I want to work in a hospital, I have to pay aprox. 8000 euros. No mattet how smart, qualified I am, I have to pay at least that sum, sometimes even more. If I don't, someone who barely has a diploma but has the money will simply take the job. Ain't life great?
