problem with relocation is that she has her mother living with her because her mom is getting older and can't do things on her own and she also doesn't have enough income to live on her own. They are trying to help each other out but it's tough.
The jobs my friend held were Legal Assistant, High School Principal Assistant, and now she does some research in a medical center. She also is a waiter to supplement her income. Problem is that none if the jobs she held pay more than $30,000/year.
It's just not so easy for some people.
I was talking about getting a degree in something that will just make money. I wasn't talking about taking jobs in her current situation.Jay_Gatsby said:This seems a bit contrary to what you originally wrote, namely, that "she is the kind of person that won't just go for something just because it will make money. She also wants to believe in what she does." Regardless, taking any job she can find may be the problem. To increase one's income, one usually needs to pick a specific field and then stick with it for years before seeing any significant increase.
