Dismissed from Additional Jobs

Writer: Anonymous GradAnonymous Grad

I cannot afford my housing costs on my UCSB grad student stipend alone, so I have taken on multiple side jobs for hourly wages. However, light of COVID-19, I have been constructively dismissed from these additional jobs. My financial situation as a graduate student in this department is already precarious; COVID-19 has undermined my attempts to mitigate that precarity. I now have no idea how I am going to support myself through the summer.
