I can't take this shit anymore man I have a degree (economics) and have been looking for a job since I graduated but no one fucking wants me. Low pay menial hobs tell me I'm overqualified and the jobs I actually want DON'T EVEN FUCKING RESPOND. I feel so frustrated with the whole process and my parents are on my case every day as if I'm not looking. It's not like their day where you could just walk into a random office and they'd hire you right there and then. I wish I could turn back time and do high school over again or something and choose a better career path. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?

falling for the college meme in 2020+ is actually fucking crazy bro... you fell for the outdated boomer 'pursuing a career' life lol... dude we're in a second revolt of the elite meaning the biggest transfer of wealth in the last century is happening and everyone who already has a career or decent job is struggling just to keep it they're all huddling together just to stay on that island and they're sacrificing each other to save their own hides... so this idea that your average person is going to get a degree and be competitive in the high end labor market isn't true anymore you need a staggering amount of nepotism to get past the glass ceiling now it's not just about having a degree it's about being born into it in a neo-feudal or quasi monarchical sense because that's what happens when u decimate workers and take away subsidies from social programs that specifically benefit them, give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy etc

take a menial job for the time being and keep up the job hustle for a better one. you can probably visit your old college and visit their career/advisement office and as an alumni see if they can help you in any way. colleges have a lot of networking and career opportunities

this, or finding other career counselors who can help out. job fairs are also good and even hiring companies might be able to help you get your foot in the door.

Tailor your resume to each application.
Don't show your overqualification.
Once you start getting paid, you could scan for a better job if your company is a dead end.
You are supposedly intelligent and have a good foundation, so small investments in mastering some shit could give great returns. Do that in the future.

That's rough buddy, everyone universally agrees the economy is fucked so we don't need people to analyze that...
>Low pay menial hobs tell me I'm overqualified
Make 2 seperate resumes, one for menial jobs and one for ones in your field.
>the jobs I actually want DON'T EVEN FUCKING RESPOND
Lots of fake jobs out there right now, the elites recognize that we can get the same work done with less people at the cost of our happiness, well-being and sanity, which is a sacrifice they're willing to make to save a buck.
>I wish I could turn back time and do high school over again or something and choose a better career path
What's stopping you from starting a new career path now? What would you pursue anyway?

I won't give up. Maybe try starting some independent business and escape the rat race. I just wish people wouldn't shame me or other young people for being lazy or not working hard enough or whatever the fuck. It drives me crazy. You are not alone.

I've gone and gotten three separate on the spot offers in my decently sized city. I'd recommend it. It can't possibly hurt you more than nothing.

stop putting your degree when applying for low level jobs retard. your degree is useful if you wanna be a manager but youre not good at anything yet hence why you cant get a job. go learn an actual skill

Just graduated last year.

Got a job at a tech startup with an art history degree. I don't code or know anything related to tech, I make pretty good money. Ik I'm extremely fortunate, as I expected to work as a barista or be homeless for the rest of my life.

The trick is to never give up hope, have faith, and pray often.

Unironically go into their office and tell them you saw their ad and you'd like to apply in person. Tailor your resume for each position, and if you're applying online make sure to send a one paragraph cover letter explaining why you want to work with them. This is not meme advice, it's what people who actually want a job instead of just talking about how they want a job do. Also make sure that you have zero typos, run on sentences, or other errors. Good luck.

I have a MBA. What killed me was the job I interned for getting bought out and my offer being rescinded. I just coast and fuck undergrads.

have you gotten ANY bites whatsoever?
if not, either your approach is wrong and you'll never get anything this way, or your application numbers are really low
if you have gotten even one interview, just keep doing what you are doing and increase numbers to as much as you can handle

Did you go to a good uni or a mid-tier one? In my country, economics grads only really go into good jobs if they went to top universities.
A lot of people get accountant qualifications and go that route instead.

If you're not getting a job it has literally nothing to do with your degree. Your degree is a good one -- but employers don't even fucking CARE what degree you have that much.

Are you not even getting replies to your CV? If so then your CV is probably just dogshit. Look up guides for how to do your CV.
Fucking read this:
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/cvs-and-cover-letters/how-to-write-a-cv

You should be tailoring your CV to each application. What this means is that you'll create one generic degree to fit each kind of profession you're looking into, and then you'll spend 30 mins to an hour tailoring it to the specific job you're applying for. For example, you may have an economist CV template. If you're applying to a role where you'll be evaluating drugs testing for the government, you'll spend time adjusting it to that. If you're applying to a role researching animal welfare for a thinktank, you'll spend time adjusting it to that.
Don't be afraid to apply for things like sales, management, customer success and other such corporate bullshit. You don't have to become an economist.

Your university probably has help for getting a job too. They want you to have a job. It makes them look better.

Oh, and you should be looking for jobs on linkedin first and foremost. Then look at indeed.
>I wish I could turn back time and do high school over again or something and choose a better career path.
No you fucking do not. There is no career path you could have chosen which would have avoided this. My best friend has an economics degree and walked out of uni into a great job. STOP listening to doomers on 4chan and probably Reddit talk about how awful the jobhunt is. They are perpetually unemployed dorks who want to drag you down to their level. You can fucking do it.

Fucking this, I have a history + modern language degree and I'm going into government policy.
