Do you need the money? Happiness (to me) is more important than money, and if you don't need it then I say continue volunteering - volunteering can be so rewarding in other ways, and if it makes you happy that's the most important thing.

i dont really need the money, even though i live away from my parents, they help me out alot and will give me money if i need it. I think happiness is beter than money, it makes me so happy being with those animals

Personally I would stick with the volunteering, at least for now. Maybe you can start to think about a job, but not at the same place. If you are miserable at work, no amount of money is worth it.

If the animal shelter makes you happy than I would stay there but maybe ask the shelter if they are going to hire people as you are willing to work with animals. If you want to work fulltime with animals I would look around and ask animal pet stores, vet offices if they are hiring if that's what you like the most. Don't go back to a job that makes you unhappy as you will get sick of it in a very short time. I have worked with animals and had many jobs with them and I wouldn't work with anything else unless there was no jobs in the animal field. The best thing to do is learn on the job. I did that with my first job which was a thoroughbred farm and I learned more with the job and the horses then the equine course I signed up for which I cancelled. Ask around at the shelter and see if they are hiring people and ask pet stores and vets too.

the shelter im at isnt hiring now since some lady took up more hours, but i can ask in another town at the shelter, and at the pet store. i worked at the vet in my old town, i didnt like it so much because i hate seeing sick cats and dogs and i didnt like the smell of the place

It sucks because my boyfriend doesnt understand i want to be happy, he thinks more about money because we need it for our house in march, but i have time to find a job it takes while right?

Don't ever let anyone else try to tell you what to do - only you know what makes you happy! Finding a job can take a long time, especially if you have your mind set on something specific. You can always continue volunteering and casually look for a job
