I graduated from school with the mindset it was going to be easy. Everyone was telling me that employers love to hire new grads and so on. But the reality is that I got an internship I didn’t like, another internship a bit later and 2 years ago I got a temporary position, but since then, nothing.
I’m 30 and I am nobody. I hate to talk about myself because my life is just empty. I still work in retail since 8 years and I’m tired. I applied to 450 jobs and now it’s just taking all my time. Retail + job search. It’s all I do!
It’s an image, but sometime I just feel like everyone have speedboat while I’m drowning on the side.
People I know talking about how at 24 yo they already did 20 things and have an amazing career. Or the videos you find "How I found 10 clients without experience" while myself I created my own website offering services and reached out to hundreds of people with 0 result.
But now I want to find the right path. I want a better job, more time for myself, more time to work on my company idea, more time to make friendships.
This week, I decided to start looking lower, for internship (if they accept non-student) everywhere in the world.
if it doesn’t work, I will try to be a volunteer in my field anywhere.
if it doesn’t work, I will see a pay to find out what’s wrong with me I guess.
Saw this at a newsletter. Thoughts? "Watching porn destroys your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for willpower, development, rationality....being an adult. Porn turns you into a man child. "
