All jobs are stressful but you should know what you can and can't handle.
Unfortunately, the only skills I have require me to work in a stressful environment or at least that is how it looks to me. I have been wracking my brain to find something else that I can do, but I cannot come up with anything else. My financial situation is in a state of chaos: I owe somewhere around 70K. The debt that I owe is credit card debt, motor vehicle surcharges, back taxes, family (they are not hounding me or anything, but I have to pay them back), and various accounts in collections.

I am 31 and have been living with my grandparents for the last 12 years on and off, I am so grateful for them. If it was not for them I would be homeless right now. They have also helped me financially, so they are the family I owe a ton of money to. I have had tons of legal problems and they were always there to help. The only thing I can contribute is taking care of them (grandfather had 2 strokes and needs help with everything). I don't expect them to be around for much longer and all they want for me is to get my life in order and be able to support myself when they are gone. This is why I am trying to get back to work and fulfill the only thing they've ever asked of me.
