well I'm fucked

A job is a job. Sometimes you gotta bust your ass for awhile until you can find something better. I've done 60+ hour work weeks in the past where I didn't have a single day off for weeks on end. It's never easy, but if it keeps a roof over your head and a place to hang your hat until you can find something more reasonable, do what you gotta do.

Tbh be glad you can work. Seen people 2 ill to work for years, they just sit at home rotting like spoiled pancetta, playing video games and watching soap operas. If it's bad enough that unskilled labor would be a better option in circumstance, then go for unskilled labor I guess is all I can suggest
