They used to say people become more conservative as they get older. I'm finding the opposite to be true. I used to think I was doing everything right to make myself employable, but I feel more unemployable now than ever. I chose a degree with good career prospects, worked several unrelated garbage jobs (IT/Customer Service/Social Media), did national service for a summer through AmeriCorps, did undergraduate research. I've been spending all of my free-time searching, applying, and interviewing for jobs, just to get rejected and ghosted for entry level positions in my field. I just feel hopeless and worthless. I'll never be able to have a career, stuck in menial labor, never own a home or car, eternal debt, and never have a family. It's all pointless and my spirit has been crushed by the heel of capitalism.
