Job search and quitting first job

I'm struggling to find a good paying job in Daphne, AL, and my first job at Marcos Pizza is stressful and underpaying. I've been injured at work and denied workers compensation, which is making it hard for me to afford food and clothes.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had researched job opportunities more thoroughly before taking the job at Marcos Pizza."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be afraid to ask for help and consider multiple job opportunities before making a decision."
