I'm so sorry. I've tried working so many times, and I just can't. I end up miserable and depressed. The last job I had dealt with using mice for research (my graduate work dealt with E. coli and other bacteria, not mice at all). I just could not sex these baby mice, and if you don't wean them from the mother within a certain time period and separate the males & females, the babies start reproducing. And of course, if you sex them incorrectly and put baby males & females in the same cage, they will reproduce. I was to the point I had actual nightmares about mice reproducing out of control. I nearly ended up in the hospital.
Now I'm a homemaker, a stay-at-home mom, I guess, but my daughter is 11 now. She still does need parenting, but she's more self reliant now and it's almost like I should be doing something more with my life, but I just can't hold down a job. I have a B.S. in Microbiology & an M.S. in Cell & Molecular Biology. Just a tip...I have tried applying at places like Target, and it seems like they count you as over-qualified if you have an M.S., maybe a B.S. too for all I know, so you may not want to list it on an application. Maybe listing the M.S. does not screen you out, but I felt like it did for me.
