Gave you an SB, because I just know how it feels. Where are you located?
in DC right now, from NYC
SB because I know how it feels to work your a$s off and not have Lady Luck on your side. But keep your head up, brother, because if you are truly prepared you will achieve greatness once she taps you on the shoulder!
Thanks man! I hope things turn for the better soon.
I majored in petroleum engineering and got completely fucked by the oil and gas market (as well as most of my friends).
Shit is better now but still, I know how it feels, SB.
keep working. it'll be all the more satisfying when you're on the other side.
It sucks. But it will all be worth it in the end. Keep preparing and [you will get lucky](
).
Keep at it, is all I can recommend. When you do reach your first goal, you'll be the one kicking a$$ and steam rolling it.
Nothing worth fighting for is ever easy, right?
I feel every single word u r saying. Been on the same track. Got my first full-time job almost 2 years after graduating from college. Had some very good grades and was an athlete too. Sent over 1,000 applications, which included e-mails, and nothing. Absolutely nothing came my way and it is just an awful feeling. You just want to give up.
All I can recommend you is to keep sending out applications, e-mails and anything that may help you. There's something out there for everyone (I know this sounds like the typical BS, but I've been there and hated when someone told me that, just gotta keep hunting).
Thanks everyone! There's a hottie at my restaurant job that I'm channeling my energy into right now. But I can't get over where I'm going wrong and exactly what changes are necessary. I'll definitely try to push forward.
"I literally have the worst luck in history. Of 4 children, I'm the only one not plagued by some disease or sickness."
Sounds like your siblings are the ones with the shitty luck??
We have a family of bad luck. I had a lot of shit to deal with growing up. That is one of the reasons my confidence was not very strong. My mom was extremely preoccupied at all times. They rely on me now to have something that the others might not so they can retire in peace. I would be helping out if I was making IB money.
If you aren't making it to Superdays, it is a fit issue. You probably come across as being negative or a know it all. Neither are good.
Not hating on you, just the most realistic answer in my book.
Thanks. You may be correct. But I do not know exactly what you mean by "a know it all"
