Checklist: +Got 2year College diploma. Honours, high GPA, etc. -3rd year cancelled because classmates dropped out. -All employers want skills I'd learn in Year3. So: unqualified. +Borrowed a huge student loan. -They want it back. -Estranged family. They're rich but .. y'know how gasoline and matches don't mix very well? ($0 for College. If we didn't hate eachother, I might've asked for more.) +Wealthy sister offered to help pay for everything. -But I said no. I don't want to be "that guy". I still don't. -Insomnia. -Followed by Insomnia and Insomnia-drugs. +Monster, Workopolis, Careerbuilder. -Scams involving lotion, door-to-door coupon salesman, and 'Craigs-List operator'. -Started applying for ANY job I can find. Yes, even Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, etc. -Nobody will hire me. NOBODY. +Does my best to stay positive. -While this brain tumor drills it's way through my brain. (Seriously, I need to go get this checked out. IDK why I'm waiting.. Aside from my somewhat rational fear of Doctors.) -Paranoid and angry. -And I'm still waiting to get paid $820 for work I did in October. I'm figuratively going to start hunting people down if they keep doing this to me!! -Applied for UEI. IDK if they'll help or not. And then I lay my gripes on YA, somebody says something like "Buck up, you'll find your dream job in no time!" Two and a half months later and I can't find a reliable job. Anywhere. (Aside from the 1 freelance job, because that was 1 time and I need more work.) Of course, stay positive. But really: How? I don't have anyone to talk to. I don't know a single person in this town, and my old friends have no idea what I'm going through. I can't admit to my family that I need help, because they WILL help and then I'll be a mooch. I just feel pathetic and tired. So now I'm just fed up. I have done everything in my power to find work. I'm willing, I'm able, I'm skilled, and I'll work for minimum. What more can I possibly do?
