You go to a non-target and missed OCR, your life sucks. I'm sure a kid who is dying of cancer is crying a river for you.

Hustle a little harder son and quit your sobbing.

Thanks for the insight, Dick. But the OCR isn't finance/investment related.

He said relatively and then qualified it with all the things he is thankful for, specifically his good health. Quit being such an asshole.

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
 

Go through the posts on WSO religiously before posting a "what should I do" thread that has been answered a thousand times over. Bottom line, there are no miracle methods but just gritty determination and hundreds of cold calls.

Move along, nothing to see here.
 

Sorry that these guys are being such assholes. Yeah, I understand it sucks, but you need a goal and to make a plan. Choose a specific job, make a list of 10-15 companies, make a list of people to contact, find other people who are in your position, and keep moving until you get a job you're happy with. If anything, most companies are gearing up for hiring right now so this is the perfect time for you to apply. If it helps, at least this happened when you're young and starting off. I know people 20 years into their careers who are having trouble finding work and never learned to hustle in the first place. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger as they say.
