Plus, with so many fields now on the cusp of being taken over by AI, a decent UBI should definitely be on the table.
it's about finally answering the call you've been avoiding.
I finished college a little over a year ago, and since then I've basically done nothing with my life. I spend most days shut away in my room, and I feel like I'm letting everything pass me by. I don't want to do anything. I know I'm a burden on my family, but I can't find any motivation to change that.
I don't want a job. I don't want to be part of society. Everything feels overly complicated, and the pressure is coming from everywhere. Life has been so awful for so long that I don't even care anymore how things end up for me.
Part of me wants to stay in my room forever and not deal with anything. But at the same time, I'm afraid that years from now I'll suddenly find myself wanting a life, and realize I waited far too long to fix it. Sorry if this is too depressing. I'm 23 years old.
I'm genuinely trying to understand this. All the time we hear things like 'nobody wants to work anymore,' but my experience and the experience of everyone I know is the complete opposite.
I've been continuously looking for a job in admin/coordinator roles for about 3 months. I have 8 years of very good experience, a bachelor's degree, and excellent references. I've applied to over 60 jobs and only heard back from 6. Out of those six, I did 3 interviews, and then all of them ghosted me. My best friend just went through the same thing; it took her almost 5 months to finally find a job after dozens of companies ignored her.
Honestly, it's very frustrating. I've never struggled this much to find a job in my life. Is this the new normal? I want to know if other people are going through the same experience. How are you all managing to maintain your mental health through all of this? And is there anything specific you did that helped you get a response from these companies?
Any advice would be helpful, thank you.
