Basically I’m a failson. Two years ago I’ve graduated with a degree in something that’s not 100% a meme. It wasn’t field that I’d call my passion (especially not after five years of studies), but history or whatever was never going to pay bills. At least that was the thought process. The thing is I haven’t been able to land any job. Certainly not any that’s even remotely prospective. There are offers but nobody answers back, even before I graduated nobody would answer me. Even after “spicing up” my resume it simply either seems like nobody actually wants to hire, there’s 200 applicants for every position or outsourcing to India/AI are already wrecking job market here. Maybe all three at once. Also I haven’t built much of a career and network while at uni, because of covid and my own idiocy/being socially inept. I’m no longer a student so nobody will hire me as assistant/trainee or whatever.
After graduating I moved back home to my parents so as not to pay insane rent sitting in the city doing whole lotta nothing anymore and be of any kind of use, and I have been ready to move almost anywhere within the country for a job. But this has been going for over 2 years now with 0 results, and it’s really fucking dire. Plus moving back here has robbed me of what little social life I still had. At that point I feel too ashamed of myself and pretend I don’t exist, hoping none of my older acquaintances take any interest in what I’ve been up to all that time.
Whole situation is doing a number on my mental and I feel like absolute fucking retard most of the time, and I can’t stop thinking about how many wrong turns, self-sabotage and consistently bad choices it took me to essentially drive myself into a ditch like that, on top of spending years on a degree I had minimal interest in to start with, and never figuring out how to apply myself better. This might be overly dramatic but it feels like life has passed me by.
