Should I discontinue my training or continue despite the dangers and problems?
Hello,
I'm in the second year of my social work training, but I'm completely unhappy with it. I realized in my first year that it wasn't for me, and last year I wanted to quit. I don't earn any money, can't become independent, and I depend on my mother – who makes my life difficult, hides food, and puts extreme pressure on me. That's why I often sleep at my boyfriend's house.
On top of that, I have severe back problems and miss a lot of school. There's a high risk that I won't be allowed to take the exams. I also don't feel comfortable at school because my classmates gossip about me. I'm only doing the apprenticeship because I'm afraid my mother will kick me out otherwise.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'd rather pursue another apprenticeship or start working straight away, but I've come this far. Does it still make sense to continue, or would it be better to quit now and start something new?
I would really appreciate your opinions and advice!
It sounds like you don’t want to work in that job anyway. Apply for a new training now and if you have found something, quit, get a job until the start of the new training and then start again.
