Night shifts are good, though.
My annual income is over 1 million yen higher now with night shifts than back when I only worked day shifts.
Isn’t it one of the few workplaces where even useless people can earn money?

To be honest, this situation is very common for Japanese people who have no special qualifications and have spent a long time out of work. Caregiving jobs are everywhere because Japan is in the middle of a rapidly aging society and desperately needs workers. The problem is that the workload is often heavy, making it difficult to retain staff. It is widely considered an unpopular profession, and solving the labor shortage in elder care may remain one of Japan’s biggest long-term challenges.
