Someone who’s graduated college within the last 5 years please tell me it gets better. I just graduated and it feels like I can’t get anything. I feel so lost like I have no direction or purpose, I feel so embarrassed ngl. I’m applying to retail rn

I know you didn’t ask me. I graduated 10 years ago. But the first two years sucked. But I hated what I did and went to school for. (Teaching) I bounced around until I found a company I liked doing something totally different. It took about 4 years to feel like. Iwas on my feet. It’s okay honey. You got this 💕 Just remember. You work so you can live. You don’t live to work. So every moment you aren’t working, do what makes you happy. Just live.

I graduated last year and am now working a pretty nice job. Took about 6 months of applying, but I treated it like a part time/full time job back when I was applying. It took months of applying, corroborating with AI asking what do I need to do to make myself the best candidate possible, and slowly I went from no response, to a couple first stage interviews, to a couple 2nd stage interviews, to a couple offers and I finally took one. Granted, that still took months, but it’s possible.

Things get better even if they feel worse at first. Finding somewhere to start is the hardest part.
