Today, I read an article about the top 10 worst jobs this year. This list includes my degree and three of my main skills and interests. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got frustrated looking for jobs and decided to take a quiz on best-fitting careers. My results speak for themselves. FML
Today, I found out that the money I spent on a very specific degree was wasted, because apparently, I don't qualify for a job at the place that told me I had to have that degree. FML
Today, my job application got denied once again. I looked over it, and saw that my roommate added "screwing over customers" and "hiding dead bodies" under my skills. FML
Today, it's six months until I graduate and I don't have a single skill that can get me placed in any company, but worst part is that I don't even want to work to acquire any skill. I'm fucking useless. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, as it has done in the last couple of years, my dream job has only been accepting applications from students continuing their degree in the fall. Literally, people with half degrees can get what I can't get with a full degree and experience. FML
Today, while updating my résumé, I noticed that in my list of achievements it said "Torturing middle school students". I meant "tutoring", but I guess this explains why I'm still unemployed a year after I started looking for a job. FML
Today, I learned that "unskilled labor" does not mean people who are bad at their jobs. I’m 22. FML
Today, I'm at the unique point in my schooling that I'm either extremely overqualified or extremely underqualified for every job opportunity that appeals to me. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't let that article dictate your life. Stay positive. They're YOUR interests and you shouldn't regret them.

Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board for you. Wait...graphic artist is on that list too. Um, never mind.

Just be better at what you do than everyone else. If you won't put in the time and effort, then I suppose you weren't that into it to begin with. If you're passionate you can make anything work for you. At least that's what I believe. Don't give up.

YDI. That's what's wrong with you whipper snappers these days. Always going too school to major basket weaving, homosexual psychology or some other useless degree. Get a career in IT or medical, or become an entrepreneur with whatever your degree is.

#19, I found the list and the only job in the bottom ten that has a degree is Newspaper Reporter. I would not bet against you.

If your source of this information is Yahoo, don't worry. They are really unreliable.

What do you with a BA in English?

I might be wrong here but i'd bet my bottom dollar that you read it on Yahoo. I don't get yahoo's obsession with negativity.

Man up and get over it. At least your first love wasn't found dead at the bottom of a pool

If you are smart enough to go to college, you are smart enough to research your career outlook beforehand

Been there. But you know what, if you love something, you'll find a way to make it work.
