I feel you. I worked in logistics in an office position for a long time. I'm very organized, so I liked it and was good at it. But wages have always been low and with the current cost of living you can hardly make ends meet with those logistics job. Managed to switch to IT, mostly project management, and thought I finally found something that I'm good at and that's promising a decent wage. My contract for the last project is about to expire and jobs in IT are few and hard to get.

It's really disheartening, you think you do everything right and fight your way into an in-demand field just to have the rug pulled from under you.
