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?

First thing man, suicide isn't the answer. If you're not trolling, there are plenty of people in your life and on the internet that are willing to help.
Second thing, have you gotten any specific feedback as to why you haven't landed a temp job? Have you asked?
"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.
Let’s start with the obvious questions. Why are you applying for a temp job? What type of school did you go to? What was your major? What was your gpa? What is your prior work experience?
Once we know these we will be able to help you. Right now it seems like you want sympathy more than help. Let’s get you a job.
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.
Well you shoulda done better in school then. No one to blame but yourself
Agree with the above, cant help you if we know nothing about your situation.
learn a skill that is in demand....notice that "finance" is not on the list

manual labor is always in demand...and union jobs tend to pay well
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
"Six figures in the first year..." Started with an iPhone.
Exception rather than the norm but I guess it can be done.

Plumber/electrician/welder apprenticeship. In ten years you'll be making $100k+, and if you're not incompetent you can open your own business and make even more. Now tell us why this won't work...
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.
bruh you can't act all high and mighty when you can't land a temp job. Check your ego at the door. The university system isn't a scam, you just didn't do well.
Do what I did.
Take GPA off then just mass apply to jobs. Get into whatever shit shop will take you then after 1-2 years start looking to lateral out.
I've had it off the whole time. Did you have any finance experience before graduating?
I'm not in finance but I graduated into
Military isn't a bad option to get a paycheck, benefits, and build some skills. You don't need to go combat arms. IT branch is expanding as far as i know.
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.
Bro, what are your strengths?
He’s good at complaining
I know, I already said I just come here to bitch. Just venting my anger and frustration
I don't know, Googling things and learning on the fly
