Military. They will test you to find out what you’re good at. Remember, for everyone in combat, there are 3 behind the lines. At least if you only stay in for 4 years your college will be paid for. Stay in for 20. Not only will you get a pension, but still be young enough to pursue an occupation.
Best: find a job that lets you take a lot of money home, not necessarily a high paying but a job where you earn a lot. Then you’ll have a funds set aside to invest
Worst: probably doing something really bad and losing several years of life as a convict or something, I’m not really sure but off the top of my head that sounds pretty bad…
The way we apply and find jobs is through the internet and this is what has changed in the last 40 yrs.
What has not changed at all is that a person hires another person for jobs. If you are just staying at home and not going out interacting with people then finding a job is Challenging.
Do not do what everybody else is doing, try different stuff and do not get discouraged if you fail a few times at first.
Keep trying different tactics till you get a job, this job does not have to be the job but a job. Then continue to keep seeking better jobs.
Get into a trade; I didn’t go to college, I’ve made just about every life mistake a person can make but I always showed up to work (when I was able to) I started plumbing when I was 18, I’m 37 now I have everything I need and most of what I want as a worker, meaning I go to work and bc I’m still one of the youngest in the field I get paid a retarted amount of money non union…my son is spoiled rotten and once again I’m probably the biggest “dumbass” I kno, but I go to work every single day and rarely work 8hrs it’s usually around 12 and after 18yrs I can pretty much handle most situations in both plumbing and hvac with my eyes closed bc all trades are is constant repetition, ur 25 so the older you get the less likely someone’s gonna hire you bc speed is everything and ur gonna b basically a slave ur first few years, but a well paid one…it’s amazing how many 40yr old
Plus guys we get just trying to learn bc they realize their college degrees are worthless and life is mostly about who you kno
Best thing you can do:
Exercise every day at the same time for 30 minutes
Not negotiable. This must happen. Since you are unemployed, things might be stressful, and so you need your mind and other organs to be fueled by endorphins. Helps manage the stress. Exercise will help you develop some sense of normalcy and safety in your life.
——I almost said to first take a temporary simple job like landscaping or being a waiter, which I indeed would recommend you do ASAP (they usually hire quickly for those positions). But I chose exercise since you have probably already thought of temporary jobs until you find a new direction.
——I would also recommend volunteering somewhere once every 2 weeks or so. Service works wonders on the giver AND the receiver.
——Also, therapy and career counseling are options if you have the funds and you feel you need it or there is somewhere you can get it unique to your location.
Worst thing:
Try to escape your stressful reality by using video games, tv shows, social media, alcohol, tobacco, any hard drugs, sleep with as many women as possible, etc.
These are great ways to make your life hell. You can always look up “reasons why *insert item* is bad for me” on Google if you need a reminder or motivation.
(I should clarify something. Video games or TV shows for example are great if they are used in moderation. However, when they are used to run away from life and get in the way of priorities, they become closer to an addiction. Thus, I use the term “escape” to describe this negative process. Not the healthy version.)
Good luck my friend!
best: get a job and go work hard and start getting ahead in life
worst: stay unemployed
Best thing you can do is get motivated and go apply yourself. The worst thing you can do is sit back and complain about not having a job
Stop applying and hoping for a miracle. I was in this in the same and I understand the utter PTSD you get from just putting all you effort into job applications with no response and even you do get an interview, you have so much riding on those interview your stress levels are through the roof.
Having said that, you still need to try if you want your life to get better. Hard to do it when you keep getting punched in the face, but the only thing that will change your situation is trying to make things better.
Best is network, I know it’s cliche, stupid, and vague, but for real, talking to many people and getting an understanding of the industry you’re trying to get into will always help
Worst is probably hard drugs or killing yourself, followed by credit card debt
Best thing: get a any job you can in the meantime to get income, then figure out a career path you are planning to get experience for and create a plan to get there.
Worst thing: doing nothing about it.
Do entry level customer service jobs not exist anymore? Or are they impossible to get now as well same as all other jobs you don’t have already have years of related experience for
Anything, and nothing.
Get unemployment assistance. Meanwhile don’t look for a Dream job. Jus took for a job. Any job.
Join the Air Force if you’re a STEM guy or army if you want to run and gun. Maybe even job the Navy reserves or coast guard as an officer and sail around the world. The world is yours bro.
Best: Figure out if there’s some way you could get some mileage out of this degree. I found out I was better at test engineering than design.
Worst: Drugs, especially the hard stuff. Even pot could get you disqualified for certain kinds of employment.
