If we can avoid massive collective issues that would be appreciated as there is very little agency the individual has to address those and that helpless ess can often extend to the more solvable individual matters we all grapple with but also occasionally rise to conquer.

    I am looking into a career change but I’ve been doing the same type of job my whole career.

    I have an upcoming interview for a job that sounds really interesting but I’m worried that I won’t be able to highlight my transferable skills.

    Does anyone have tips/suggestions?

    I’ve been living with my parents for almost 2 years now after graduating from university. Now, I have a job that pays me just enough to live off of and I’ve been wanting to move back to the city where I lived for University. But, my situation is as follows that prevents me from doing so. My dad has a condition, one of the worst conditions you can get, you can probably guess what it is and please don’t say what it is because I don’t like the word. Because of this, my dad can no longer work, and my mom has been trying to find work so I’m taking care of things. And, because of this condition, home life isn’t as great as it used to be and my mental health has deteriorated to nearly nothing. I don’t know what to do and how to get everything back to normal. I’ve been looking for apartments but how can I leave in good consciousness knowing what I’m leaving? I’m stuck and I cannot move literally and figuratively.

      So shouldn’t he apply for disabillity or something? Not to be unkind but you can’t keep your parents warm by setting yourself on fire.

      home life isn’t as great as it used to be

      Are they making it that way, like do they act manipulatively or threaten you or harm you in any way?
