The job search has shown me living under a bridge tending to my one garden as a recluse isn’t so bad. But actually it’s been a struggle I’ve also applied to like 300 jobs in three different fields. Everything’s on a hiring freeze or aren’t needing new positions

For those struggling with this who don’t care what they do and just need to make money: look for an Amazon warehouse position or driver position. The pay is decent and they almost always need workers (especially drivers)

Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps like your ancestors did. Start off small, work in the McDonald’s kitchen, then work hard and show your passion for the company, get promoted to manager, then district or regional manager & eventually you will be a executive board member or the ceo if you play your cards right

McDonald’s, gas station, pizza shop, I mean you’d have to be unhireable not to at least get bare minimum wage jobs

Well there’s jobs… but you I want something better for myself, as a college graduate, than working at a gas station or McDonald’s. Or at the bare minimum, make more than $15 an hour

As someone two years post grad, don’t turn your nose up at anything. I found this job a few months after graduation and have stuck with it because the job market sucks. I have a friend who was unemployed for a year because she thought certain jobs were beneath her. Again don’t turn your nose up at any opportunity. Find a job then look for another while making money

thats exactly what im doing. working in retail while looking for a job in my field i got my degree in. keep an open mind and take any job you can get. being unemployed is not an option when you need to make a living.

That’s where I’m at too. I have a shitty part time job with an uncle. It’s makes me want to shove a pen in my eyeball but it’s the only thing keeping me afloat 🫠

at walmart you start out making $17/hour. ur just making excuses why you cant get a low level temp job just to start making money. once you get your first job, it shows you can show up, be reliable, and have a good work ethic. future employers will see that you're trying. it also gives you experience in the working world.
