It’s depressing out here. Especially living in a high cost of living area, and seeing jobs advertised as “competitive compensation!!” but they only offer 35K a year.
They require a 4 year degree, 3-5 years of experience, and they offer THIRTY FIVE. A YEAR. For context, my city’s official website just published income data stating that as of 2021, in a single person household, anything below 35K is deemed as “very low income” (with 36K-52K still being classified as “low income”).
Just…fuck. I want to cry. I’m getting rejected from INTERNSHIPS for gods sake. Get me out of here. I just don’t want to live in poverty anymore yet there’s no ladder to rise up.
