I guess first quarter is usually the worst time in the year to job hunt but holy shit it’s fucking bleak out here. I live in a well populated college town in the south and 90% of job listings are nursing or something highly specialized. Slim pickings for the rest of us. Feels like my biology degree is totally useless when I can’t even get a call back from McDonalds lol. I’m so cooked

    It sucks because I feel totally trapped. I can either go back to school and live off student loans and accrue a shit load of more debt, or I can keep working retail or in kitchens for pennies. I wish I had just stayed in the workforce post high school instead of bothering with higher education at all

    I feel the same way... I'm hoping to be a bit strategic these next few years so I can leave my awful country (which is abysmal in my industry) and get hired somewhere else (hopefully China).
