My 2 cents

The issues being brought up seem to be the following;

  1. I got a degree in; political science, English, history etc. my degree only gets me entry level positions.

No shit, your degree was for a passion, not a profession, nothing wrong with that but understand that’s what it is.

  1. The career I trained for dosnt pay well; example teaching.

FYI teaching has never paid well, when my mom was a teacher 40 years ago the pay sucked, it sucks now, you knew what the pay was prior to becoming a teacher, so if that’s an issue why did you choose that profession??

  1. Current world is much worse than previous generations, housing costs, lack of pay, tuition costs, no pensions.

This one sucks, it really does. Try and look at positive that we have somethings better than boomers, work life balance, ability to work from home, ability to change jobs.

In summary my advice for anyone who wants to be well off, research what job you want, research what it pays, research how to achieve it. Getting a degree and just applying random places is not a plan.

And always remember lack of grammar is not a sign of lack of intelligence!!
