Let's say that I'm unhappy/in apathy with my job. (I'm not, really, but I'm trying to make a point.  ) I'm the one who makes the money to support my family. I don't have the luxury of just walking away someday from a job I'm not so thrilled with.
Besides saving large sums of money just in case that ever happens, what suggestions would you have for someone who just can't financially afford to leave a job they hate? |
Well saving large sums of money is the logical thing to do if you're in a hole like the situation you described. An alternative to saving would be borrowing money from a banks, friends, or family so she can venture out and find something she wants to do.
So yes she will have to continue "working" at a job she hates. But notice I put "working" in quotations. This is where the right attitude/mindset comes in that Steve has been trying to communicate too you. If she knows that working at this loathsome job is temporary and that something better is in store for her in the future, I don't think she is going to mind going to work. She has a plan, a vision. She is working for her goals and that will keep her going. Again, she needs to have clear goals and the right mindset to presevere. If she is strongly committed and takes the proper course of action, she'll eventually be able to quit her job and do something she likes doing or is comfortable doing.
