So what are my options if I can't even find a temp job?

Can't even land a temp job, let a lone a full-time position. What are my options? Leaning towards live-streaming my own suicide to bring awareness to how much of a scam the university system is. Anything else?

"suicide isn't the answer' -- highly debatable topic for another day.

No, it's the same thing every time. I apply for a temp role, some sub-human recruiter reaches out to me to setup a time to talk, they make me do an excel skill test, they like the results, then send me more documents to fill out, I fill them out, then I never hear from them again. Even after I call/email back. I'm almost positive staffing companies don't actually staff people with companies, they just sell their info.

 

Because I have no finance experience and can't land a full-time entry level position. Shit state school. Finance major (wasn't my original major though). 2.7-2.8 or so I can't remember. I had a data/IT internship in college.

I mostly just come on here to bitch (dear diary). I've already had a long thread on here with solid advice. Feel like a lost cause.

 

How are you going to tell me that journalism, audio production, video production, people management, etc. are in-demand hard skills. Seems like a legitimate and accurate list

 

As stated to someone else, I'm not doing manual labor. I've done carpentry in high school and not doing that shit again. $100k after ten years is absolutely laughable too.

 

I'm not in finance but I graduated into 25% job placement when the previous year was 98% in absolutely horrid year for that industry. I had a job lined up and I had a terrible GPA.

My secret was paying an Indian $300 to create a bot that automatically applies to jobs for me. I had an insane number of interviews.

 

Doubt I'd be able to - I've had multiple surgeries on both eardrums. Plus I'm too much of a pussy and don't want to sign my life away for years.
