I am currently a correctional officer. I started only about 9 months ago. The pay is great, as are the benefits. But I hate my job. It makes me miserable and is taking a major toll on my relationship and mental health. I knew that this wasn't the career for me, but could help me get into probation or cps (which are jobs I'm interested in). But I didn't imagine it would be this terrible. Not only do I have to deal with the verbal (&sometimes physical) abuse of inmates, but my coworkers are terrible. All they talk about is cheating on their significant others or shit talk their "friends".
I am absolutely burnt out. And getting time off at my job is literally impossible (even tho I have 197 hours pto).
I can't afford to just quit my job. I need income and I took this job to eventually be able to move into a more desirable job.. But it's killing me. What do I do?
