Lost my job today at Amazon :-(

I think that not necessarily the "stigma" (as much as it can be considered stigma to go into burnout from exploitation) of the first job precludes this, indeed it could even demonstrate your motivation. In any case try to put money aside and prepare an external situation of independence (such as a vegetable garden and a side hussle. It is probably very difficult because at amazon they are not renowned for leaving too much free time, I think it's a bargaining strategy, being all that the worker has will do everything not to lose the position.

Crying is good, but don't overlook the fact that this could change your life in a meaningful way, I can't immagine how the shock hurted to you, but this change could become a good thing in the long run!

I got the job at Moms Organic. I start work August 2nd. Stage 1 complete!

I'm going to miss making $200-$300 a day Ubering, and I am tempted to NOT go through with the new job and stick with Ubering, but I think long term, the job at Moms Organic will be a better fit.

@Jonsey Hey hope you're doing okay. If you need money you need money, no need to moralize about it.. I see too many falling into the opposite trap of trying to be spiritual with money when they do just need more savings in their bank account and some basic things. There's nothing wrong with satisfying material needs/desires. 

Best of luck at your new job.

I'd rather get into sales involving the integration, cultivation and connection of cannabis. Maybe through the medicinal use of cannabis(or any other healing plant), I could get to a point where I can have the passion and skill to work my ass off and sale those kinds of items for a massive payday.

Time will tell I guess. Solar is definitely the future though.
