I worked/work at a Polish Deli, ever since October 2010. At first, I liked it, the money was alright and the people that worked there were awesome. 3 of them quit, one got fired. Lately, it's ALL girls that work there, and it went from 6 people on a shift to 2-3. That's bad. I feel like I work double and my boss has a really bi**** attitude most of the time. I am sick and tired of working there. Everytime I go there, I just wanna cry. I know that I'll probably find a good job once I get my EAD.Well, today I am suppose to go in to work as a cashier as well, at a Polish Deli too, but more people work there. I feel bad not going since I already said I would, but since the EAD will take a few more months - my appointment is September 20 for Biometrics - and I am going to try it FIRST and then decide if I want the job, but I have already quit on my boss once. So, what would you do in this position? Should I go and try it, see how it is? or stick it out at my old job and suffer everytime I go there? It's also my first year in college, and I know money is important - I don't have a lot of classes, only 2 - due to short on money and can't apply for financial aid unfortunately. But I kinda wanna enjoy it, and study and do great. So... ? help please

I would tough it out.

Do you know how many people with socials and driver's licenses are out of work?

Any job is a blessing for us dreamers I say. Learn from the experience so you can know to appreciate it when you have a 9 to 5 office job with two months paid vacation.

The beautiful thing is that you know once your DACA comes in you will be able to look for a better job. There is a light at the end of your tunnel.

To be honest...u need to suck it up. U cant be thin skinned; being undocumented had to of toughened u up to the point where BS just flows right off u. For one, i would love to have ur job (all my jobs consisted of me doing manual labor for VERY low wages) and i know a lot of us unemployed DREAMer's would love your job as well. At worst u will have to deal with it for just 3 more months, so just bear with it for the time being.

I know that looking to the future makes the present seem trivial, but u cant get side tracked because of a path that hasn't fully opened for u yet. Myself for example used to drive when i lived in Miami, but i made a conscious effort to not do so anymore because i live in (anti-immigration) Georgia and i dont wanna mess up my DACA application. That means for almost 3 months i have been isolated from the world (u cant get around without driving here...no such thing as public transportation), only able to get out occasionally (gym, store...just minor stuff). It is killing me, but unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary, i will not get behind the wheels of my car. Im not worried about myself, but i know anything can happen. The roads in Metro Atlanta are always overcrowded, the highway is a mess, and u cant forget a deer can jump out in front of ur car at any time during the night. I just suck it up however, because i know there is light at the end of tunnel.
