I am 31, I have been applying for work for 3 months, after my gardening business got destroyed by the rate interest rises.
I found nothing, I ended scraping the bottom of the barrel and taking a chance on a reasonably paid merchandising job.
I ignored the red flags, the usual bullshit, “need you to be a fast learner”, reviews about past employees saying they werent trained and had loads of expectations put on them and management got pissed when someone who hasn't been trained didn't finish all tasks.
I'm sitting here in a Cafe, with the pink Floyd song money, blarring on the speakers, the universe is taking the piss haha.
When I had no work I was depressed, I had time to ruminate.
Now I'm working at a crap company I'm feeling worn out and pissed off, I'm not even getting trained.
I fucking hate how 2-3 jobs are now combined into 1 and we are still paid the fucking same!
My choices are to walk and face many more months of depression or let myself lose the last bits of my sanity and get bitter, but I have money.
I want to start a new business but I don't know what to do. I don't have the money.
I have been travelling around today and I have been watching boomers lounging around or I drove passed a golf course and watched loads of middle age people playing golf.
The world isn't fair I know, our generation has been shafted.
Honestly how do you keep going? What do I do? Fuck it makes me feel so depressed like there are no prospects or way out.
I'm in the final year of a marketing degree, but I know those jobs will be replaced by AI soon.
I'm worried the world is going to be a hellscape from Elysium, corporations everywhere, little work, low paid and no safety, life balance.
This can't be it can it?
Sorry I'm in a dark place at the moment.
