I know there's nothing y'all can do about it, but I'm so scared.

I'm very young and I've only been teaching for two years, but I know this isn't for me. I'm looking for a new job, but I'm in a very HCOL city and the job market is in shambles. I'm almost tempted to stay so that I have some kind of financial independence, but this year has been absolutely miserable and I don't want to go through this again and again until retirement.
