Hi @WovenGalaxy sorry I just saw this now, I’ve been a little distracted myself.

Yeah $9,000 is a lot for a course, I feel for you on this because I’d really like to do some study too but it’s expensive and I can’t justify it.

I like the suggestions people made about smaller independent stores for jobs, I know you tried retail before but think it was more the bigger stores/bigger volume/faster pace?

I hope you won’t worry about meeting your boyfriend’s friends and family, sure, some people do ask about work mainly because they can’t think of what else to talk about but if you can say something like you’re volunteering right now then that’s certainly a fine thing to talk about. Of course I find many people like to talk about themselves most of all.

Hoping today is going okay for you.
