Lately i've been struggling trying to keep up with my bills, working and going to school is not working out.. even though I am doing very well in my course. I make minimum wage at my job and my hours got cut to one day a week. Ahhh it's stressful because I was making over 2,000 a month at my old job and would've gotten a raise by fall last year.
My bf is doing fine, he gets funded by his band (we are both half native-he has his rights and I don't), schooling paid for and his basic needs like rent/ food.
I have been pressuring my parents for the past year to claim their rights so I can hopefully get funded in the fall also, but from what I hear the process is a very slow one.
I was talking to a friend of mine today and he works in Northern Alberta, he makes great money, and it's just common knowledge where I live that if you work in the oilfield you get paid alot. Alot of people I know work in camps so I am tempted to do that also.
I feel I am left with a hard choice to make considering my future, I moved to the city for better opportunities but it seems to be a struggle. I am 24 and it feels like my plan and time is running out. I would like to be at a certain point by the time I reach 30 - like done school - but there are many obstacles.
I thought of working two jobs but I just don't know if I could handle that.
So for me it's either move back home and quit school or find a better job in the city and perhaps continue to struggle... perhaps it's fear that's holding me back.
Am I selling myself short?
Maybe i'm just not trying hard enough, IDK but most days I feel emotionally and mentally drained and so stressed all the time.

I asked the iching "Should I quit school and find work up north?" 26.2.4>30
I don't want to but it's starting to feel like a strong option I should consider now...
But then again a part of me is saying, it's like admitting defeat.
Oh and I also don't believe in borrowing large sums of money :S so getting a student loan is an option I hate to consider.

I think its a good idea to finish what you start as you are doing well

Knee jerk reactions to a broken heart seldom work out

26 is being like a farmer line 2 is saying some upset is a good lesson to you.
Line 4 is carrying some kind of warning about young aggression - read all
you can on the lines to see what resonates.

26 taming the great is an auspicious hexagram about really taking stock of
where you are on the map. Look at your own situation - its confusing to
compare ones situation to anothers.

2 jobs may not be a bad idea as 26 is about accumulating - maybe you need
to amass savings before you head off. 30 ends in synergy and light - I am
not certain but I think some farmer like patience is necessary and putting
something by (as Pocossin said in my post with 26)
