The Unemployed Thread

[Telume]

Weasel Overlord: Well there must be a very good reason why your friends are winning employers over whilst you're not. Again, I'm only guessing, but it probably boils down to how much work experience you have.

This is not necessarily directed at you, but it's pretty hilarious how many people here seem to believe that a university degree = an automatic job. Couldn't be further from the truth. That's exactly why people like Telume are going to struggle so much after earning their degrees, yet are too egocentric to realize that at the moment.


Lol, Kiyone. XD That's why I love you. ^^

I'm not going for a Bachelor's just yet. That's still not offered at my college. I'm going for the Associate's right now and seeing if I can find some kind of apprenticeship/internship to gain some experience in the field.

All while continuing to go to college.

It sucks though because I live in one of the most affected states, Florida.

I'm also kind of like MToolen is, I get a job and it sucks harder than a giant Black Hole. So I usually end up quitting, because honestly I'm not putting up with the flak that the retail or fast food industry gives you. I tried it once and I almost failed my English class because of it. I just didn't have time to focus on one thing.

You can kind of already guess I suck at balancing school and work, but, I think that college + work is a bit different. Highschool has set hours, college *usually* does not. Lucky for me most of the jobs my college offers actually work around your schedule.
