My uncle let me know about an opening at their workplace. It was a factory setting and I was told I should apply because I'm young enough to handle it and they hired out of high-school. Pays 19/hr and OT was a possibility.
Well, I've been here for over 6 months, and the job itself is fine, the people here are fine, but holy fuck. I don't think I'm cut out for this. I cry on my way to work, I get home too exhausted to do anything, I work anywhere from 42 to 70 hours a week, and my back aches when I do anything but lay on my back, I'm really stressed. I've started teaching myself C# programming and game design in my free time, and I started learning it because I'd rather work in that field than destroy my body in my current job.
I spend about 200-700 per month on bills/essentials, I have over 8k saved up right now,, I still live with my parents and am not being kicked out at all. I'm almost talking myself into quitting and living on my savings while I learn programming. As enticing as it sounds, I'd feel guilty for quitting a job that I'm frankly pretty fortunate to have. Like, yea my mental health and physical health seem to be going straight to shit, but I have PTO, 401k, health benefits, etc. I'd be stupid to quit, but I don't know how to tolerate it much more.
Thats my situation, I don't have a specific question, just need advice.
