r/2003

Been thinking about hiring one, totally legal where I live.

Does anyone have any experience on this?

They’re closer in age, but I don’t think 23-year-olds are closer in maturity to 29-year-olds than to 6-year-olds. Because pre frontal cortex only gets developed by 25 so I don't think 23 year olds have fully fledged developed brains.

It’s been 7 months since I graduated from university. I always imagined myself working in my field. I specifically imagined myself as an administrative assistant at some corporate office in Richmond or DC. But instead I’m still stuck in the same small city I always lived in and I was denied all the positions I applied for that I really wanted. I managed to luckily land a job as a part-time bank teller. I honestly don’t mind the job, but I hate being part-time. I’m afraid to leave because I don’t think I would get hired anywhere else. No one else even gave me a chance. I feel like a failure, I’m only making $14 an hour. I try to stay positive, but life definitely sucks at the moment.

I won't be able to live much longer. I feel bad for my dead ambitions, hopes and dreams...

hi guys, 23M here. don’t you think it’s pretty shitty the cost of living has been increasing so much over the past years to the point a lot of people in our generation cannot afford to move out? I studied accounting and working in the field but entry level pay is meh here in the UK. it’s expensive to move out but I believe it would be so much more better for my mental health than dealing with family members how I am now. just need my own living space… And would rather not flat share with multiple random people

What team are you rooting for? I’m rooting for Mexico

The world, economy, and technology are changing so fast that traditional career blueprints might be completely outdated.

* **To the younger crowd:** Do you prefer human experience, or do you trust AI to navigate the modern landscape?
* **To the older crowd:** Do you feel your hard-earned wisdom is still valuable, or could it accidentally hold the younger generation back?

Being in my 40s/50s, I try not to give advice to young people. Life and careers look so different now in the AI age that my past experiences might not apply. I’m actually afraid my advice could do more harm than good, so I take the same hands-off approach with my own kids.

I just turned 19 this year. im persuing b.com and just gave my 2 sem exams. But when i see all others my age..some people are doing internships, some have startups and some have already retired their parents. meanwhile i dont have one decent internship. i feel like im so behind or what will i do with my future. i want to earn money too and help my parents. does anybody feels the same? cause rn..i feel like a total failure

I won't be able to survive being homeless for long. I haven't had anything to eat for a week now. I've been relying on water.

I won't survive a year.

There is no more hope for me to get an entry level role, a useful one. If I went to college later in life only to graduate into these circumstances, I wouldn't even be alive today. Shit. It's no wonder why suicide rates have consistently skyrocketed year after year after 2008.

As George Carlin said, "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it." It's a pipe dream for those not already well connected from birth.

Maybe I'll believe in it in the afterlife. I'll see. Or maybe I won't. Haha.

Of course I won't leave my body behind for my former landlord to clean up, that'd be inconsiderate. It'll be in a ditch somewhere. I have no assets and no money to seize to cover the costs of a burial and funeral, so I'll just be a carcass for animals to chew on until I'm nothing but bones. That's assuming they can identify me when I've never had a government ID.

Feels bad.

I am 2004 but i would like some advice on this age so if there is any sane/nice female advice it’s much appreciated

I live away from home. Have for 4 years now. But this year feels different. It feels like i have no parents anymore. They feel like theyre just friends now. I dont know what to do or how to feel.

Im adopted so this just feels 10x worse.
