Someone I know from my cohort in grad school not only got hired for one adviser position I applied to, but then got promoted to another, better advising position in our former department I had also applied to, and he was a psychopathic ex-marine piece of poo poo who had nothing but naked racism and contempt for non-white men.

It really is just mostly who you know. At least the business/finance classes are straight up in telling you that it is all about "networking" to get a job. At least the programs I was in were.

I put in another application today to be a generic secretary and one to be a credit card representative at the bank and I often think if I'm still doing that kind of work or applying when I turn thirty I'm just gonna kill myself, lol

Don't kill yourself, kill the rich.

Alternatively just rob a bank or something and dip out to S. America. What's the worst that will happen, you'll die?

lie on your resumes

no one is checking




didn't graduate college? fuckin say you did. worst case scenario they'll call and ask to see a transcript (they won't) and then you say "oh cool but looks like I actually got another job offer so nm." No one is checking unless you need a security clearance.

I wish this wasn't good advice but it is. I was unemployed for longer than I care to say and what finally pulled me out of it was just completely loving lying like I never did before in my life. I was already embellishing a little bit here and there but when I went full sociopath things got way better. I still didn't get a job right away but all of a sudden I was getting called into interviews at least once a week.
Realizing that my college degree was worth much less than just bullshitting people on the spot and the fact I came close to being homeless because it took me so long to figure this out permanently broke my brain.
