I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm definitely below poverty wages and rather than using my degrees, I've got something else I'm looking to pursue. Just a few days ago I got a promotion that will give me a set schedule, weekends off, better pay, and the ability to make regular plans outside of work without having to worry about a sudden schedule change. The whole traveling thing is something I haven't done, but would like to. I just can't really afford that with my current lifestyle. But I can always travel later so I'm not too worried about it. But you're not alone, for sure.
