I have been very underemployed for a lot of years and I am confused as to what I can do to fix this. I have researched my choices and graduated 3 times now with Diploma's that are supposed to get me somewhere, and I am still barley making enough to keep food in my fridge and a place to sleep. I have asked, applied and sought out help from a variety of services, and I always seem to come up flat. I really do not appreciate this cycle of poverty I am forced to live in. I am a single mother and instead of staying home til my daughter was old enough I have worked. I look around and see other single moms who are much younger than me and have no previous trainning in anything get good paying goverment jobs, I know of functioning addicts in great positions living in their own homes and going on yearly tropical vacations, I know of people who have lost their liscence do to drinking and driving receiving grants to have their liscences upgraded, I go to work and come home, I dont drink or do crazy drugs. Ive stopped going out to nite clubs a long time ago. I am active in my community and helpful;to my neighbours. I am great mother, a good employee and faithful friend. I just dont understand why life is such a struggle for me. I have been praying for years for God to open my eyes and my ears. And Im still not hearing anything.
