I’m 35. Got laid off from a field 3 years ago and trust me the field doesn’t exist for American workers anymore. Skills don’t transfer so I’m basically a guy with a degree who has used spreadsheets and can type in English.
My parents are bugging me to get a job. I moved in with them to help out a hospitalized sister who is better. Never found work.
They want me to go work at the local chipotle. I tell them that would be fine but ask “and then what?” And they seem to think “well you have to start somewhere”
“I did start somewhere”
So my question is this: where can I get a fucking job? One that pays rent actually? I literally can’t find one. Ghost job postings, ridiculous experience requirements. My peers and networks either give me the run around or admit that they’re not hiring, especially not white guys.
Literally. Where can I get even a fucking job? Where do I even look?
Someone said work for the feds the other day. DOGE. Oops lol
