Going back into work after being a stay at home mum for some time. My little boy is 14 months. I'd be happy if it wasn't for the fact I'm re-entering the work force into the soul destroying career path in retail. I have no viable skills or qualifications that I can use elsewhere so I'm stuck. I can't retrain as it costs money that I just don't have. I'm feeling so hopeless and down right now. Desolate I guess. I can see it now, old and decrepit and still working in a dead end job going nowhere, working harder than others, compensating for people's laziness. In retail it's not what you know, but who you know. So miserable its unreal.
