    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I’ve been struggling to find a job for the past eight years, and it feels like I’ll never get a chance. I’m not disabled or unqualified, but the job market keeps getting tougher. My only option for income is labor, but without money, how can I even start to make money? It’s a frustrating cycle. I worry about the future — the economic system seems to prioritize growth at the expense of the planet. We’re depleting resources faster than ever, and it feels like we’re on a path to ruin. I’m left wondering if I’m supposed to just accept this fate.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I’ve been struggling to find stable work for years. From ages 18 to 21, I tried relentlessly to get any kind of blue-collar job, but I never even got a chance to interview. My cousin faced the same fate. After that, I went to college, majoring in Computer Science, which I now see as a terrible financial mistake. If I hadn’t gone to school, I could have saved up $100,000 to $150,000 from minimum wage jobs instead of the measly $25,000 I have now. I feel like I’m just leeching off my parents, and I’m almost 30 with no real independence. I often think about giving up entirely, even considering drastic measures like moving away and donating my savings to charity. I feel lost and regretful about my life choices and wish things were different.
