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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I’ve been unemployed for a year since graduating. I haven’t been able to find a job or feel any joy in my life, and have been stuck at home, completely relying on my parents, but now they’re gonna kick me out. I’ve turned into a complete failure, I can’t even kill myself because I’m not brave enough. FML
Today, even after applying to literally hundreds of jobs a week for the past 6 months, I still can't get a job. Unemployment is almost gone, and I won't be able to afford my medication. I also can't figure out a painless way to kill myself. FML
Today, I realized i'm practically incapable of actually getting a job. I'm 19 years-old, with no workforce experience, I frequently apply to jobs and regularly follow up with them on a consistent basis, yet they still ghost or reject me outright. These are minimum wage, starter-level jobs. FML
Today, and for the past 6 months of unemployment, I’ve realized my life is spiraling downward fast. Years of hard work, sacrifice, honors from top schools, and constant validation, JUST TO GET BRUTALLY ASSFUCKED BY THE GODDAMN JOB MARKET. It feels like everything I worked for went down the drain. FML
Today, I realized that I wasted my time in college. I'm supposed to graduate next month, and I hate the career I'm going into. I could've focused on recruiting and easily found a job I would enjoy, but I decided to waste my time watching YouTube videos and playing video games that I'm not even good at. 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'm in a US college. I could've gone into a trade or internship, but no one listened. Now, while my parents brag to their friends that their child has a degree, I'll probably be spending the rest of life in crippling debt, sleeping on the side of the road, and begging strangers for table scraps. FML
Today, I've been stuck in a minimum wage job since I was 15. I'm now 22 and I have no idea where I'm going in life. FML
Today, I realized I freaking hate my career. I've only got through a semester, but I feel like I can't end the four years it takes. FML
Today, It’s been six years since I graduated high school. My peers in my grade never included me socially, and lots talked down on me or behind my back growing up. My self esteem was ruined and I’ve been pushed into dead end jobs; meanwhile lots of my bullies are now travelling and/or successful. FML

You are not useless. Not in any way shape or form. You are yourself. Be yourself & find you way. Life is a crap shoot. Be you please.

You absolutely should have done internships throughout college. They don’t expect you to know anything - you learn and they give you very low-level work. You can gain real positions from there. Take these 6 months and apply for internships. Maybe there’s even something you can do before your schooling ends. But that’s how you get the experience. The motivation? That comes from within. Dig deep. No, deeper. There you go.

What school are you at that gives you zero skills? Why no desire to get any skills? You're not useless just unmotivated.

A college degree and no marketable skills? Really? I’ll bet you’re expecting someone else to pay off your school loans, too. You really are a worthless POS. Get out of bed and start slinging burgers at McD’s. At least then you’ll be doing something useful and earning your keep.

There is a saying… those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach Physical Education. You may have a future in education, and if that fails there is always a spot in your parents basement.

That is the most inane saying because very few people can take on multiple classes of 34 high school students and make them behave and learn. I can. High Schoolers today will eat most people alive.

doesn't have to be high school. You get to choose the age range

That degree in basket weaving doesn’t pay off like you thought it would, huh? Where’d you go to school? ITT tech? Or Devry?

And this is our future... a bunch of millennials who don't want to work and expect to have everything handed to them on a silver platter. I'm terrified.
