why aren't you in accounting then? why are you working as a waitress? i thought accountants have it pretty good since the job market isnt as ssaturated compared to other jobs

My ex bf had a degree in accounting and didn’t use it… He worked at Amazon. Are you procrastinating on your CPA license, too? Just get it over with so you can have a cushy job!

it's not you it's this fake and gay economy fucking all of us over

I graduated near top of my class with an economics masters and had a placement in a government agency that was set up by my favourite professor who saw me as her protege…right before COVID. The agency collapsed and now I work 40 hours a week doing copy/file work and take lewd art commissions to scrape by. My housemate, on the otherhand, lost his decently well paying lab job and started refurbishing furniture and electronics. He makes almost 3x what I do, while working a few hours a day from home. He's also the landlord, so he's given me successive rent discounts as inflation has risen, lets me eat his nice food and is generally very generous, and yet I still can barely stay above water. Being so pitiable that he can't help feel sorry for me is the only reason I'm not in terrible debt.

Don't have the 30 remaining credits either? I gave up on that but mainly because I don't have money for a masters.

I wonder how. I tried doing same type of shit, and I couldnt even make it even. I am such a fucking failure its unreal.

I was able to get my foot in the door with my business degree for a startup company (that failed in like 3 months lol) but use anything like that to build up experience on your resume. Then you can get into higher paying jobs.

My brother is also a construction worker and makes way more than me but I'm not smart at all.
