[quote=Anonymous]Single mom to a (donor conceived) 3 yo, HHI 145k, Fed in a health agency for about 5 years.

Yesterday was my first day back from my first vacation since RTO and all the other changes as a fed. Last night it hit me that I just don't want to do this anymore. I want to see and spend time with my kid, not be miserable, and do work related to my field/training.

I'm happy to have a job, a significant part of my office was RIF'd but my job has changed from before- using the skills and training in my field to now doing alot of admin-type work, scrambling to comply with executive orders, and constantly shifting because we loose this contract or that software. It all seems very pointless since we are just waiting for another big change within the agency anyways.

With full time RTO, mornings are now rushed. I pick my kid up later. I used to work early in the morning before he woke up for an hour so that I could pick him up earlier. Yesterday we were both so tired and in bad moods. He went to bed at 6:30 exhausted. After spending the last week together full-time while on vacation, it just made me so sad.

I could live on less, but am behind on savings. In the past, I have jumped around jobs/locations when I feel this way but now with a kid, a mortgage, significant lifestyle creep, that isn't possible.

Im trying to think about jobs in the school system but it would mean working outside of my terminal degree in health. I don't know what to do but I dont want to do this for 3 more years.
