Also not uncommon in her field to require a masters in exchange for low paying wages - at least not here.
I did a quick paycheck calculator. If she lived here, filing Single 1, and paid 2x a month, she'd bring home roughly $1200/ck. Here, rents are so ridiculous that one entire paycheck could very easily go to renting a 1 BR apt on her own unless she wanted to live in one of the further out suburbs.
Exactly. SW isn't high paying and I don't have my clinical license yet. When I do I am more able to get higher paying jobs. I'm going to try to find a place with cheap rent near my work maybe I can get a weekend job baby sitting or at a gym. I'll meet guys at a gym if I work there.
Because I can't afford an apartment making 39k a year. The pay is awful but the experience will be good
Where do you live? Why did you take such a job if you TRULY can't afford an apartment much less to own a home? You're creating a bad situation for yourself - why? What is your plan to make more money so you don't live with your parents forever? And on a simpler note - why can't you go to the guy's place? There are some easy answers if you don't want to confront the bigger issues...
I could go on and on. You sound as though you just fall into things without any thought and then when there's an issue throw your hands up in the air. Time to grow up and figure your life out or 20 years from now you'll be right where you are now.

She just finished her masters and maybe doesn't have many choices with limited experience in the field. She said she is taking the low pay to get experience. sounds temporary.

20 years from now I'll be a wife and mother. But once I have my clinical license in 2 years I can earn more. This isn't a forever career it's to get my foot in the door, get great clinical experience and the supervision for my clinical license then hopefully hospital social work or the VA It's just the career path I picked which is even more reason I need to get into a relationship and have 2 incomes life isn't made for single people
The time to have lived with your parents was when you were going to school. NOW you have student loans to pay off, which includes the money you spent living away from your parents. Not the smartest thing to have done. Your student loan debt is higher than it had to be, because of this. Any future bf is going to look hard at the debt you carry and realize that you want to throw it on his shoulders - a big liability.
You don't even want to work (and a future bf will realize that you will stop working at the earliest moment, leaving him to carry the full burden AND your student loan debt). It sounds like you really have no calling for the field you chose - so why did you accrue that debt for a low-paying field that you have no intention of working long in?

I got full scholarships for undergrad and grad school my debt is really small compared to some. And social workers get public loan forgiveness after 10 years in certain fields and I can do income based repayments until then. Where my payment will be like 10-15% of my income which will be low. So I figured it out before I jumped in. I do want to not work though or work very very flexible hours
