Where to go from here?
In 2025 I graduated with my bachelor’s in supply chain, albeit in my late 20’s. Upon graduating I couldn’t find a job in my field anywhere. So I went back to my old trade in CNC machining. I’ve been a machinist for a year now. While I don’t totally hate my job, I sometimes hate that I spent five years getting a degree and I haven’t even been able to use it yet. The job market has had me so discouraged that I kind of resigned my fate and gave up looking for corporate job. I get a lot of shit from my friends that I’m not using my degree, but I do make okay money. I don’t know what to do though.
What pisses me off is the people I went to high school with who graduated in their early 20’s had an easy time finding a good entry level job. And I graduated. It‘s my fault for not having my shit together when I was younger and doing college at the traditional age.
My question is where do I go from here? What advice can you give me?
