I'm a 21-year old who left college to work instead. Unfortunately higher education has gotten too expensive for my family and I. Going to work seemed like the most logical option. However, I ran into the problem of being ghosted by employers. I also noticed jobs just don't pay enough. I can't move out with the salary these jobs are providing. I am finding it hard to figure my life out when I can't find a job :/ I've had jobs before but it seems like this year alone has been hard for everyone. I know others have it worse than me. I'm not that person who's applied to 200+ jobs in under 2 months but I still have applied to many since May. I've been trying my hardest and still nothing.
Any advice on how to get myself out of this rut?
