The sad thing about job hunting is that no matter how much you do it, you've never actually made any more progress.

I'm exactly where I was two months ago. Nothing's working. All I want is to be an adult, just give me a wage slave job please I swear to god I'll do anything no matter how degrading it is. I can't take it anymore. I take all the energy I have to compose myself and go into every opportunity with confidence and enthusiasm and at this point getting rejected again barely even hurts. Just throw me a bone somewhere, I don't even care

I wouldn’t say you haven’t made any progress. I know it feels that way now because of the constant rejection and how you feel in the moment, but even through all those interviews I’m sure you’ve improved more than you realize. I know it’s super defeating constantly being rejected and discouraging, but you’re doing wonderful even if you feel like you’re not. 🤗 I’m proud of you for your strength to keep going even when you don’t feel as if it’s worth it.

@Stark no, but i will at least abstain from arguing 🤧

Stark

@BlueVeins argue with me 😡 I’m sad so do it

@Stark the likelihood of me progressing past this point only gets lower over time. the gap between now and college where i've been doing nothing doesn't look good and it's only gonna get worse. i'm gonna end up having to get a job in this backwater town and live at my parents house forever with student debt

@BlueVeins you may have to for a bit while continuing to look for a job in what you really want, but I don’t think it’s the end route for you. It’s sadly something most people end up doing but it’s definitely not a final designation
