PhD Dasher
Hi! My name is Shilowe and I have a PhD and I Door Dash to survive right now. Why? Well, stick around and subscribe to find out! I'll be explaining my story, my family's story and more! Be patient with me though, I'm a bit camera shy and trying to be less awkward in front of the camera!
And my telling you about my PhD is to encourage others who might be in a similar situation right now. It's tough out there and it can feel like a giant step backwards to be in survival mode, for anyone! If you are struggling to survive, welcome and I hope you find a community of camaraderie here.

OK, lol--here's a new one. Someone gave the video that will premiere TOMORROW a thumbs down. It hasn't even premiered yet. No one has seen it yet.
Can we say, troll? How do you give a video a thumbs down that hasn't even published yet?? LOL. That's a new one for sure.
Thanks for the interaction? Sorry you are triggered? Maybe wait at least until it publishes so you are a little less trollish?
Good talk. I hope to see you all in the chat at the premiere tomorrow. Maybe not the troll though, lol.

Update on the car and it's not great.
$1300. Fuel vapor canister and valve. The one part alone is over $800.
I am so over car issues. Trying to stay positive, but it's getting a bit difficult. Hopefully I will have my car back by the end of the day. And then I need the car to PLEASE stop breaking.
I took this time off to apply for more jobs. Some of them I'm not even including my PhD because I think it's not helping me get some of these positions to get us by until I can get the career things going.
The AMAZING response from the last video is so greatly appreciated. So many views, it's so awesome. Thank you!

Just keeping it real guys. I am super stressed right now. I tried to put gas in my car this morning and it wouldn't go in, it just kept coming back out. I called the mechanic and it's likely an $800 part. I have to take it in tomorrow morning for diagnosis. This means I can't dash. Our only source of income.
Apparently this happens because people continue to put gas in after it automatically clicks off. I wasn't aware of this being problematic.
I feel sick to my stomach.

Thank you to those watching my videos! Today is the last day of the month and for us creators, that means the last day of making money for the next pay out! So whatever channels you like to support, make sure you go watch their content and interact to help push the videos out there in the YT algorithm. We all appreciate it so much!
Have a wonderful upcoming week and hopefully I'll see you in a live this week!

I hyped 2 YT channels today! The first one--her family is really going through it and could use the boost. The second one, similar situation as me--laid off in her 50's with young kids and a higher degree and struggling to find another job. It would be awesome to support them if you can! Thanks 🥰

We have a severe thunderstorm warning tonight and I'm supposed to dash! Possible (low risk) tornado conditions, but high risk for hail and VERY high winds up to 75mph.
Maybe I won't be dashing, lol. Stay safe today if you are in the PNW! Lots of cells everywhere with severe warnings.

Wow! The trolls are out STRONG tonight, lol. Thanks for pushing the video out there, even if it's clearly impossible for some to be kind, lol. I've seen it on other channels as well tonight. Hopefully those creators can also laugh it off and just remember any interaction tells YT to push the video out more LMAO.
Thank you to those who leave the kind comments. You all are awesome 🥰
Trolls...go get some help. It's usually covered through your insurance.
Regardless, I hope you all have a great week and see you in the next video (unless you got yourself muted, lol).
