Dissatisfied with myself

I got a bachelor degree and I became the lunch lady at the school getting minimum wage. I had a teaching job but the behaviors were just so outrageous it wasn’t worth my sanity. I feel like I can’t believe I went through all that schooling just to become a lunch lady. I love the lunch position and I’m happy doing it but I am dissatisfied with the pay and hours and respect. I don’t even know if I like teaching anymore. I thought I knew what I wanted when I was going to school but that now I’m in the working world I am truly confused and don’t know how to navigate further.

The unions fuck everything up.

@SnailTeeth how come?

@Fifidog They're parasitic leeches who create an environment not conducive to growth, evolution, or positive change. They get a stranglehold on the finances, then the blue-collar well-spring becomes a trickle. They then defer blame to the mgmt, which conveniently removes them from scrutiny. They intentionally create hostility and toxic environments to enslave the weakest minds, and often target the most lucrative entry-level industries. Public trading only further adds to the stress.

I would rather work under the person going places. Not the person who got paid just for showing up. I feel there's more to learn from the former.
