i graduated in may and i'm still unemployed! getting to the end of my sanity now. living at home. no $$$.
it's hard out there right now, finding a good job that is.
Yeah, I can relate to all of that pretty well right now, but I think my sanity went out the window recently and I've really just been incapable of stopping myself from asking "Really? This is what I bust my ass for 5 years for? To wind up where I am right now?"
Anyway, I'm sure you understand - and I really, really hope that you find something soon. I don't wish the circumstances in which we finished school on anyone.

I guess not, but I don't know - it's hard not to compare yourself to your friends and peers, and when they're doing everything you wish you could be and thought you'd be able to....
...ah fuck, I don't even want to finish that sentence. I feel like a douchebag for even thinking it.
for what it's worth, i've had a bad run recently too
just happens. im learning as i go.

i've all but lost hope at this point.
my parents want me to get a regular job. minimum wage type shit. i'll be fucking dammed if i spent 5 years and 75k start at $7/hr.
hang in there man. 3rd shift can't be too bad. it's better than nothing.

if people spent all their life judging themselves for what they had vs what others do, 99% of the world would kill themselves. There will always be those with better or more, use it as a motivation, not de motivation.
What you thought was bullshit, as you had no idea what to base these thoughts on due to lack of actual experience. You are going to learn a lot more now than in school. Don't be a defeatist! You are really young man, lots of life left. If you get into the wrong frame of mind (as you are now), it will make everything harder. Shit and fail are only shit and fail if you do not learn from it and use it to better yourself.

That's the key right there - when you feel like everything you've put every effort into, everything you've worked so fucking hard for, suddenly seems worthless.
you need to stop comparing yourself to this image that you project onto your friends and peers. just because you assume everyone is doing so much better doesn't mean that they don't have shit to deal with also.

you can still get the good job!!!!! That "shit" job would also start to pay off that 75k waaaaaaaay quicker than sitting at home doing nothing does. Be realistic!
