I'm from asia and I'm relatively young (22) and it's literally fucking impossible to get a job. I've been trying everything and I don't understand why it's extremely difficult to land a no-skill minimum-wage job. It's fucking ridiculous and it's tiring me out I'm in a terrible financial situation right now. I live with my mother and we're struggling to scrape by now, I live off noodles and pasta (I've lost about 5kg just this month) so anyway to make some money would be great. So Bros, I ask you, how do I get a job, or better yet, how do I make money as a broke, skillness loser such as myself? Because I am flat-ass BROKE

I'm in my mid-twenties and I'm still lying on my resume. I see it no different than sneaking vegetables into my picky eater child who refuses to eat anything except for brownies. If I don't feed him I go to jail, and if I don't get a job I starve to death. It's really the picky eater's fault for being so spoiled.

Like you said, we've reached a point where its commonly said you "break into" the workforce as if millennials were never meant to work and strike out on their own in the first place, and are never truly welcome in the workforce. This is true to some extent, as I've attended some pork conferences in hopes of "networking" (I hate the term), and they genuinely believe ALL of humanity should be their own individual business owners. So, in a sense, the porks want communism too but just on their terms.
