Just keep looking? I’ve tried everything and if it hasn’t worked yet then I’m screwed. And there’s only one place that I have any potential life and only one broad field I have any expertise in. My only other option is to work a blue collar job that doesn’t even pay rent which defeats the purpose. There is a timeline that must be met because life doesn’t wait for you. Perhaps you haven’t been in my shoes as long as I have but once you do you realize that life is a scam

You’ve tried everything? You’ve applied to every single open available job? That’s statistically impossible. I’ve been out of college since 2022

Bro your attitude is so shit no wonder you aren’t finding anything. Maybe you’re right just go serve a military or something cuz if you don’t wanna help yourself there’s nothing to be done. You gotta want to help yourself and it doesn’t seem like you do

Every single job that I qualify for, that pays enough that is in the one area that I have any life, yes. I’m constantly on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc and have done thousands of applications and that’s on top of the shitty temporary dead-end job I have in the middle of nowhere

I very much want to help myself and have done everything I can to do so. Of course my attitude is negative, that’s a logical response to life blowing up in my face. Why the hell should I fake being happy or be naive and think things will magically work out? We have to be realistic no matter how shitty reality is

Yeah I mean you’re probably SOL man. If you can’t take advice then you’re doomed. I’m all about helping people that feel like they’re in a rut but if you aren’t receptive to advice then you don’t really want help, you just wanna feel sorry for yourself. And I don’t feel sorry for you. Help yourself. Or don’t. Those are your options. Ask yourself honestly which one you’re gonna do. Then do it.

The US military? And waste my life away doing PT on some base in same random place? Screw that. I’d rather travel myself to a war zone and be a freelance fighter. Perhaps if I was guaranteed the right occupational specialty in the right location sure I’d join the US military. Or if we were at war and everyone was signing up to go fight

Exactly what have I said is wrong though? Are we not supposed to be realistic? And you don’t wish that things turn out better for me? I hope things turn out well for all good people and so should you smh

Nothing you’re saying is realistic. You’re just saying “wah wah I’ve done everything I can I’m just scammed by life”. Do something about it man.

Nobody likes a whiny stubborn man. Not employers. Certainly not me. I’d fix your attitude first and foremost then you can worry about what you’re gonna do to set your life on track. With what you’ve got going on in your head, you’re headed for nothing but failure. Only you can help yourself. Don’t put this on anyone else but yourself. This is your life. So go change it.

How is it not true or realistic? It’s true that I have done everything I can to get the life I want and it’s not working so I have no choice but to settle for a shitty life unless if things magically change? Is there some job board I’m missing or someone you could introduce me to? If I’m missing something please show me, I hope I’m missing something and that there’s a solution to this

“I’ve done everything I can” is a lie you tell yourself to make yourself feel better about failing. You haven’t done everything.

What employers know my attitude? I have barely been able to get any interviews lol. And the attitude is the result of the circumstances of my life. I didn’t randomly wake up one day and choose to be depressed despite everything being perfectly fine lol

Is there a particular job board I’m missing or group or person I should reach out to? If so, I’d be more than happy to do so

Sorry I was at work. Anyway. You’re not getting interviews because you don’t stand out as a candidate. Your qualifications aren’t outshining everyone else. You’re also probably applying to jobs that have a lot of people applying. If possible, try to hand a physical copy of a resume to a manager. Sometimes also companies hire off their own internal systems not on job boards. Going in and talking to a person can help. But you have to be comfortable with getting ghosted and rejected. That’s part of

No offense but you shouldve researched more before majoring in that. I’m still in college and my one coworker also graduated in political science last year and cant find a job. Its not smth worth going for

I did my research back before I graduated high school and the job prospects were decent. It’s also the only field I have any skill or knowledge in that has any money making potential and one of the few subjects that wasn’t ungodly boring
