Istg it’s just either I’m overqualified and they’re gonna hire someone without a degree or I’m under qualified and they’re gonna hire someone for the “entry level” role with years of experience bc there are so many ppl applying for everything ofc I don’t have a chance 😭

Exactlyyyyyy. I have a social science degree and either places are willing to hire me at 16-18 an hour OR i don't even get a call back bc I don't have 6 years of experience already

And I tell my parents and they said I should be "grateful" I'm getting hired but that barely covers my bills while my dad didn't even graduate high school and he's making triple digits

I mean you are doing better than me. I was hired as a server while constantly applying for other things and got laid off for that bc the restaurant wasn’t busy so now I’m unemployed

Oh and my parents charge me rent and think I don’t have a job bc I’m lying about how much I’m applying and being lazy.

Depending on your degree and where you're located, I could send you where I got hired on. They started me at part time but once I hit full time it'll be 40k.... literally the only place that has been willing to hire me

I’m in the Midwest and basically studied media communications. It was kinda a big mix of communication, media, pr, and graphic design work

Ah dang yeah we're only in the south and east. I really do hope you find something soon! I feel like our generation is so good at that kind of stuff so it sucks the experience thing even exists

Like you can work for a company for 10 years and suck at your job. At least we're water to work

I do counseling with kids rn but the pay is shit and they won't even make me full time for a while but it's all I can get

Omggg I also have a sociology degree, graduated in December, and have no job. Shits tough out here. They should’ve said “getting a degree will put you ahead, but only if it’s in like business, finance, marketing, or possibly communications. Otherwise don’t bother”

What kind of job are you looking for? I wanted to do something with children and maybe DCS/foster care but they all pay shit and DCS never gets back to me

I had one call a few months ago and I was like “I don’t even have a job to pay off my student loans I got from going to your school let alone extra money to give you”
