graduated from university 6 months ago
>took me 7 fucking years
>18-25
>feel old
>no job, haven't done anything since
>my life has literally not improved or changed for years
>only accomplishment is completing my degree
>just wasting my life doing nothing, waiting for someone to hire me, applying to jobs. Writing emails to HR and I hate it
>applied to 100+ jobs
>don't know what to do with my life here on out
>completely trapped
>immobilized by the lack of money
>lack of direction
>have no idea what to do

nothing I've ever done has worked out for me.

I've tried to do what I'm supposed to do. I followed life's instruction manual. But I just can't get things to work for me. I'm constantly playing catch up. Constantly failing. I just want to get to a point where I can feel half way decent about my situation. My life is boring and wasted. I can't make money. No one will hire me. I'm fucking useless. I'm getting older every day and wasting my life.

I make an effort everyday to change my life but i don't feel I'm getting anywhere.

Relax, take your time to perfect a quality like speech and working on your mental strenghts. All that negativity will have your spirit crushed after countless of rejection letters. So why not improve on your self esteem, write better CV and keep yourself healthy, going for a walk each day to clear your head.

You are in prime age of getting a trial time job that might result in keeping it until you retire. So keep yourself wise, know what is good/bad action and mostly, learn to keep cool.

Always go and take courses that might help you get a job, "safety card" is needed for construction work, "food safety" for stores and so on. You might not know what you are going to do in the future so having all doors open is adviced.

I have no interest in construction nor am I physically very able to do something like that. I spent years getting better in my technical business skills and now I'm slowly forgetting it all.

I had my CV reviewed by school specialist who do that sort of thing.

I've networked

I've tried emailing heads of places around here and none have replied

I've done everything you're supposed to do and more but it feels like I'm walking through molasas and it's getting me no where.

Do what I did. Joined the military and became an officer because of the degree. Getting paid pretty good.
>>
>>17300336

I cannot be in the military due to a host of reasons. And a big one is descrimination. I don't at all fit in with those guys or the culture.

>I have no interest
>I'm too lazy to change, so I'll sit and complain

>I had my CV reviewed by school specialist
>I'm too lazy to review it myself
>trusting someone else with your future

>I've networked
>I'm too lazy to use those connections to further me

>I've tried emailing heads of places around
OK that one's pretty standard for everyone

>I've done everything you're supposed
Not really, you just email and complain.

The fuck were you doing for 7 years? no internship or job in the industry?
>>
Have you contemplated starting your own business?
>>
>took 9 years to graduate university
>15-25
>feel old, friends and family graduated years earlier and without the head start
>unemployed, only ever had part-time jobs that lasted 4 months
>applying for some jobs but not seriously
>update my LinkedIn, make it look shiny and professional
>sitting on couch one day watching TV, haven't applied to anything in a week or two
>get call from company recruiter, liked my LinkedIn
>5 days later I'm hired
>6 months later I'm about to leverage the position to an even better one

tl;dr same shoes, things got better. Update your LinkedIn

If you don't think you'd survive the hazing in the army how do you expect to find the social skills to sell yourself to settle for the middling office career you'll probably land in...

The fact it took six years to finish American education makes me think you're a massive shut in / mentally handicapped
>>
>>17300744

Shut the fuck up with your stupid projections and assumptions. I've spent 20+ hours on my resume. Had it reviews dozens of times by multiple people.

you'd like to believe I'm lazy so you try to take the little information I've given and add as much assumptions to frame me in the way you'd like.
>>
>>17300964

Yeah I've thought about it. I do actually run a little side thing at the moment. I fear however that my degree will be useless if I don't utilize it at some corporate gig for a few years. I'm planning to go back from a master's and my field typically requires job experience as a prerequisite.
>>
>>17301045
>>17301045

Thanks anon. I'll definitly do that. What field are you in, if I may ask?

I've been really hustling and e-mailing local firms laying out my experience and asking for an unpaid internship. It's a tough field to break into.
>>
>>17301130

Neither. You're likely more of an autist than me, honestly.

And it had nothing to do with the "hazing", you're an idiot, sorry. I have zero interest in the army or the culture or the type of dorky gun ho white guys that typically join the army.

applied to 5 more jobs today.

Sigh
