He was the sole bread winner of the family since my dad is retired and my mom is a housemaker. I don’t know how we’ll manage as we have no security cover. I joined a call centre to add to the family income but my performance is below par (according to my boss) and I’ve been asked to quit. I don’t know what to do next. Maybe I should leave my studies and join some place as a full-time employee?
