Sorry bruh. The only way ive figured anything out is just by trying stuff and figuring out i hate it, so at least ive narrowed it down a little. maybe government work if you want insurance?
i mean i had a really good local government job but they asked me to resign because i wasn’t learning fast enough and now i’m at blackjack pizza which issssss something i guess

it sucks that college is so expensive in the US yikes. go to germany and
study for cheap honestly. anyway… i was involved in a lot of queer
organizing for a few years then i saw a masters program in community
psychology and the description made a lot of sense for things I always
wanted to know more about. so i guess i picked the program based on what
I wanted to understand and have discussion about, and not necessarily
on what I wanted to “do” for a living.… but it will also help with finding jobs. I mean i haven’t worked since 2016, and i’ve just been living with my family while i figured things out. I also took a couple of psychology-related trainings and like workshops before I even though about getting a degree in it. because I just wanted to learn things. so doing this kind of stuff might make you feel like you’re trying different things and not just sitting around
see that’s kind of what i did to pick a bachelor’s degree? like everyone always asked what i was gonna do with psychology and i just studied it because i like it and i was good at it but i didn’t really have a plan for anything else. when i graduated from college i figured i’d just do jobs until i found something i liked which i’ve kind of been doing but it’s just been working at starbucks, a really good job answering 911 calls for the city that i was asked to resign from for not learning fast enough, being a camp counselor, and now working at blackjack pizza. so i guess when i graduated i just thought that bouncing between jobs was gonna be more like “grown up” type jobs? like reception, or hr, or something like that
also i’m currently on a path which is to work at blackjack pizza until i quit mid february to go on my crisis-inspired trip to australia and new zealand for three weeks (i still need to work on my plan because i have plane tickets and nothing else) and then when i get back i
Is there anyway you can start out on an entry level position in the field youre interested in, to get a feel for it? For example, if you’re considering being a biologist, you could start as a scientific aid for fish and wildlife before you decide to get all the schooling
while i appreciate this a lot, part of the issue is that i don’t know what i want to do? like sometimes i’m like “well i liked being an ra in college maybe i should do that” but did i like it enough to spend two years and who knows how much money getting a masters in student affairs? plus my mom is constantly trying to help but it’s just her going “you’d be a good physician assistant. have you looked into that? hey you’d be a good realtor. have you thought about going into marketing? what about human resources?” and so now i’m just sadly looking for any job that’ll give me health insurance and the ability to be self sufficient while i hope that eventually i figure out what i want to do
100% same
when i get back from running away from my problems to the southern hemisphere i have to find a real job with health insurance

there’s been multiple occasions when i mention something i find interesting and someone will go “oh did you see that on buzzfeed unsolved?”
bruh I relate to parents only properly showing their love when it’s about shit they can brag about like YO. karma is coming for these people man I gotta believe that.
rip but like i got you bud. shitty parent-having kids unite. and if you ever need a good mom you can borrow mine
your dad’s an ass and I’d like to clock him
everybody’s always like “he’s your dad! he’s trying!” and i don’t know how to explain that he’s only proud of us when we do things that he thinks are accomplishments and that he can brag about, and that he never really listens to anything i say unless it’s about something that he thinks is interesting or wants to talk about and it’s just always terrible to spend time with him because he acts like he doesn’t do any of those things and is just trying to be supportive and didn’t decide to abandon us all so he could be untethered in his pursuit of trying to do all the things he thought he missed out on because he grew up poor and then try to go back on it and say that he still wanted to be a family he just wanted to divorce my mom
Send a thank you card or email the next day! Cards are more effective but not as quick if you’re using the mail, but they’re quick if you drop them off yourself. Thank you notes make people remember you more than anyone else, and it’ll have your first and last name in it at the end, making that connection even stronger ^^
i always see this as advice for job interviews but it feels like a much better thing to do for networking because it’s like hey thanks for taking time out of your schedule to meet with me as opposed to “hey thanks for allowing me to be one of the people you were scheduled to spend time on”
wet-whites replied to your post: everyone send me all your networking tips and…
tell a story about yourself related to the work of the person you’re getting introduced to and mention your name again during the story
okay but it’s a lunch with my dad and a friend of his friend who works at google and i’m supposed to ask about getting hr jobs with a psych degree
i already reblogged this in solidarity but i just wanted you to know I Also Did This
i didn’t even realize it was cider season but we were at the store and i saw some and got so excited i yelled “IT’S CIDER SEASON” which could’ve been a fun embarrassing moment if there was anyone else in the produce section that wasn’t my mom
but also i’m glad i’m not the only one everyone deserves to open fall with A Lot of Cider
