I work in a job that at has on many occasions, put my life in jeopardy. I nearly died on tuesday night working in the latrobe valley. It was the end of a 17 hour day and I get paid $17 an hour. I studied at university to get ahead and this job requires a university degree. Yet I am paid and treated like a pleb. The part that shits me is that I cant afford to leave. Debts, bills and mortgage are all commitments and inconveniences that need to be paid. I apply for work and get no answers. I have a dream job but am unable to persue it because I am tied down financially. To compensate for the low pay i have a second job and therefore i work seven days. This cant be what life is about can it? I dont kid myself with happily ever after scenarios or love at first sight, but is a balance, or even happiness, so unreasonable? I know this is a truly random rant but I feel helpless and suppressed. Surely there is more to life than this. I apologize for the rant
