I’ve lost about 20 lbs in the past month and a half. The last week or so my lashes have been rapidly falling out to a point I have like maybe a quarter of what I had… is this normal?

I’m trying to decide what to do here…
For context I’m an assistant coach for a year around swim team in the triangle area making $12 an hour for coaching upwards of 45 athletes that are all 16 and under.

I myself was a year around swimmer and swam for 13 years, and was lucky enough to get to a fairly high level as a swimmer. Besides my own experience with swimming competitively I have the following:
5 years of swim coaching experience
8 years of youth coaching experience in other athletic programs.
4 years experience working with clients one on one in various fields.
And I’m about to have a personal trainer certification as well.

I love this job, and it’s truly amazing getting to help these young athletes carve out their own paths in this sport but I’ve hit a point that I don’t think I can keep doing this job because of pay. Boss is not an easy person to get a raise from either which doesn’t help.

So is this the normal??? Or am I in a not good situation for long term success? Or is it time to switch my job field and walk away from coaching?

Would love some feedback/baseline of other coaches pay. From what I can tell with a google search, it looks like even summer league coaches are getting paid more hourly but maybe that’s a norm due to the short time they’re needed.
