Yep, I was one of those people who couldn't get a job. Super cool to go back to your grocery store job you had as a seasonal gig during college to work full time after you got a degree and no one was hiring. Then I actually tried to move up the corporate ladder there just to be blackballed by all the non degree having half brain dead people working in management there that were intimidated by me passing them up at the next level.They would promote way less qualified people over me with the excuse that they were worried I would leave if I got in a career job. The 1st 3 years after college was fucking dark. To get an office job, I had to work at this shady ass limo company for a while, then they went belly up, and I had to work in a warehouse. Finally like 5 years later, I got an actual job in my field. I always said that I wished I just worked full time after highschool. Could have bought a house in the correction, and even if I worked some shitty wage slave gig out of highschool, I'd be 100x more well off than I am today. Houses in my town were at least somewhat affordable then, (6-700k) now they are 1.8 mil +.
