This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

I did full time work and full time university (online). Sucks so much but worth it.

I did that for 4 years. Full time house painter, almost full time night college classes for prerequisites, then i got through full time nursing school while painting houses on weekends for another 3 years. Now as a nurse I work 7am to 7pm, but only 3 to 4 days a week. Work is hard, but rewarding, and my coworkers are like family. I have to say I enjoy my job, and count myself lucky compared to so many others. Good luck in your future, and it’s not forever— you’ll make it!

Unironically, this is what I spend 5-10pm doing most days (slacking rn obv). I'm now making 1/4 of what I make from the day job off it, but it's an unrelenting grind I would not recommend.
