As someone on the job path, imma tell you right now there is nothing i've encountered so far that is even half as stressful as school was for me. Adulting can be scary and a little confusing but also so much simpler than older generations make it out to be.
i think it’s also comparative like older generations are like “you think school’s hard? wait til you get into the workforce…” but like… school is ridiculously harder and more competitive now??
@@BlameItOnSeptember In some cases it is legitimately harder out of rigor. In others, like mine, it's harder out of sheer boredom. I have gone to the same school for my undergrad and almost finished my masters there. I generally coasted through the bachelor's without doing much more than the bare minimum. For my masters so far, it's been extremely easy and boring. I've wanted to switch to another program more worth my time (like one of those online masters in digital forensics from FSU or Champlain University) but I'm currently maintaining all As and deeply involved with research teams in a computer forensics club on campus, so I stay. I also graduate this coming spring, so I am super excited.
I honestly hated how they said “after college, it’s a lot harder in the real world” like what does that mean? Do they assume we aren’t working while in college? Because I’m working while going to college and it is the hardest things ever. I long for the day where all I have to do is worry about my job rather than assignments and projects.
Each path will have it's pros and cons. I picked door #1 and I found that it's harder for me to meet new people and keep up with my friends. With a stable job though I find I have more free time to pursue my hobbies and enjoy life in general btw your videos are really good! Been following since journal video :) Keep on making new content!
thanks so much for the encouragement 🥹💗 and for sure - I’ve definitely heard how hard it is to maintain a social life while working vs being in school! just another one of those big hurdles to go through
I recently graduated in 2023 (technically Dec. 2022), and I honestly feel this. I really had no clue what I wanted to do with my life when I graduated, and I still don't even a year later. I'm basically just trying to figure it all out at this point. I decided not to do graduate school because I kinda got sick of all the homework and stress associated with being a student. So now I'm essentially stuck in a huge predicament. My mom even seems like she is a little upset with me for still working the same dishwashing job that I had while I was in college.
Either look for a job from ur major, assuming it wasn’t a worthless major or get a better job. Dish washing is not something you’d want to say u did ur entire life.
@@dannynav2 I know that dish washing is not a career. My problem is that I just don't know what specific career path I want to take. My degree is in mathematics. I needed a break anyway with how burnt out I was when I graduated.
I'm the same I'm still figuring out what I want to be. I noticed that I have never really wanted to do my major as a job so now I need a new purpose. I recently started teaching and I started to like it. I'm not sure if this is what I would do for the rest of my life but I dont think we are really meant to do one thing for the rest of our lives. With time we will figure it out, so give yourself time and focus on your wellbeing. I neglected my wellbeing so much I ended up being burnt out. Wish you the best
I didn't even attend my graduation day ...I was too exhausted to stand and receive a diploma I was so done It's been a year of unemployment ,look like it's gonns be longer and I don't have a life like never traveled, my friends have other friends, i am broke to the point where i can't afford a taxi fee , i have no dream or ambition....so if you ever felt miserable don't worry there's someone much much more miserable than u are , you're not in the bottom yet
Unfortunately for everything to get better it HAS to get worse. You can blame your government the education system and also the people/citizens for allowing such fuckery to ensue. The same people who made your education system already told you “We don’t want a nation of thinkers, we want a nation of WORKERS” so the way you feel now was the way they WANTED you to feel in the first place. Everything happens for a reason tho and if you innerstand cosmic/universal law you know that hard times are just the catalyst for spiritual growth. Stay in the fight 👊🏾
wow I also didn't attend my graduation day cause I was just tired and it's too much trouble. I have a part time job that pay me dust and constantly think what the fuck I'm doing here. Seeing people do things I'm aspired to do if only I had the random chance of being born with parents that have financial stability or care a little more about me is kinda crushing. Anyways glad to see another bottomer here
I will be graduating high school in 2025, and I needed this video. Really, I did. From being a small kid with no brain cells to a grown teenager, I have seen the world in not back and white only, but shades of grey. The thought of having to decide what I want to do in life or how I’m going to find a stable job does worry me. However, I will take it slow. I still have time, and I really want to be capable of transforming my life into something else. Keep up the great work
i just graduated university 3 weeks ago and looking for a job rn is so difficult. i feel like I'm competing with thousands of other people for the same positon, which I am and idk. my peers who are ahead of me in life told me it took them months, even up to a year to find a career and it makes me so scared because I feel like I have this pressure on me to immediately find a job since I just finished college but I know its going to take time. school was always a pain for me so going to grad school isn't something I wanna do. now that I got my bachelors in english/sociology im hoping to find some decent work in the coming time. my degree is very broad but damn that post graduate depression do be hitting. thanks for this video, im glad this came up on my feed in a time of confusion
omg i feel the same way! I graduated about a month ago with a degree in sociology and it seems like everybody around already has a job or they already planned the next step in their education. I haven't had much luck with jobs and am considering a part-time job at ulta since my brother said to get a retail job to get my feet wet.
@@hannah-vv9ru i feel you fam! im currently working right now so I'm not too stressed but eventually of course id like to make my degree worth all the time, money, and tears I put into getting it. thing is everyone is on their own timeline so try not to compare yourself to them and what they're doing. i compare myself for competition to see what I can be doing better but besides that were all gonna be in different areas. the best thing I like to remind other college graduates is that we already have what we need to succeed in finding a good job, we just need to give shit time and put effort in looking. i wish you the best of luck and if you wanna talk via social media I'm here for ya since were in the same boat LMAO
@@djcze not yet unfortunately. have had interviews and applied but just keep getting denied. i won’t lose hope yet though i’m gonna keep trying cuz i’ll land something eventually. all that matters is you keep trying
I feel like you're talking about me, even though I'm studying the same major, but the difference is that I haven't graduated yet. I have a year and a half left, and I feel lost and depressed after graduation from now on!
I think we should switch our perspective on working for the rest of our lives: We should work to live, not live to work. I’m a senior in high school, and I plan to go to college so I can get a decent job to live comfortable and support my future family. I don’t care about being rich, I just want to live my life spending time with the things and people I love most. I want to go into computer science because I am a little interested in computers, and I can handle sitting at a desk all day. It’s not something I’m “passionate” about, but something I’m at least interested in that can pay the bills. I want to use my work as a means to live my life (Working to live). I am passionate about having a family, making art, traveling, video games, and other things. Again, I want to use my work to enable me to pursue my passions, even if they aren’t my full time job. You don’t need to make your passion into a job, and that might not even be possible (Doesn’t mean don’t try). You don’t need to find the purpose of your life in your full time job because, for most people, it’s just to pay the bills. Bottom line, don’t live to work, instead work to live. Don’t put all of your life’s meaning into your work, and enjoy your life. Godbless 😃
Keep that energy fam. Society will try to drain everything you love from you mentally. I’m 22 and I can tell you now…. It’s not the job itself, it’s the people and their dumbass shenanigans that ruin the job.
As a freshman in college class of 24’ in HS please enjoy this last year do you work get the most out of Highschool but please enjoy it at this age it’s true that we are the happiest in Highschool take care
Exactly. All the confusion of what you want to do with the rest of your life is solved by just picking something! You don't have to have some magic dream job you love every second of, just get something comfortable.
You have the right mindset. I just graduated this past spring and got a job but bruh…i came to the realization that i care about the thing you do as well. Idgaf abt being RICH like everyone at my company…and it’s making me depressed bc i don’t want to go job to job. You got a great mindsettt. I hope you do great things
As someone who is 33 married with a mortgage and a child, I just want to say we older guys don't have all the answers... I just did whatever made me happy when I wasn't working. Overall life might seem pretty boring, but it's simplicity is what allows us to appreciate it for what it is. It's simple things like seeing your child smile, laugh, enjoying your coffee in the morning while watching your shows... Finding stuff to do in weekends, even if they are mundane, vibing/dancing while cooking...
I love this film!! Literally no critiques I just kept catching myself smiling whilst watching especially in the more upbeat last chunk of the video. Thank you for making something so awesome. You've made my day!
"What keeps me going anyways? i don't know, some parts are nice" goddamn it, if this isn't right. And it isn't grandiose experiences either but the small collection of things that catch your attention somehow only because they make you feel something so familiar and unrecognizable at the same time
@@cooltwittertag genuinely, you have to carve out nice things for yourself. make more time for friends or hobbies that you used to like but have fallen by the wayside, pick up new hobbies, spend more time in nature, etc etc! being more intentional about seeking these nice things out makes it way less difficult to keep going
Six months after graduation I had my quarter life crisis. Looking back now 2 years later with a great job, in my own apartment, it wasn't so bad :) That discomfort was just the growing pains of growing up.
Do what you like to do. Usually you do this because you are good at it. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Develop three things you are good at, for example writing, deep knowledge in a specific subject, a second language or project management skills. Opportunities will then arise where these unique combinations of skills sets you apart from others. This then becomes the foundation for your career, and will take you around the world and through tough times which inevitably come. It will also keep you in a job for 40+ years.
This video is EXACTLY exactly exactly EXACTL-Y what I have been feeling since I graduated from my tech college last year. Thank you for putting it into words for me.
I’m 26 years old, I’m from the Philippines, and I just graduates from college last month. (Technically, I graduated last year, it’s just that the ceremony was last month) I have been studying there since 2015, and when I finally graduated, I thought it would be the happiest and most fulfilling day of my life, but after that day, I just felt… the same. Like I don’t feel anything, I just felt the same feeling I got when I graduated high school. So I just sat around my house, helped around the sari-sari store in my house, but recently, my parents have been telling me to find a job, and I want to really, but I have going to college for nearly a decade now, like next year is gonna be the 10th anniversary of me first enrolling in college (also the 10th anniversary of me graduating high school). I told them there’s no deadline to me not finding a job almost immediately after graduation, but they scoffed at that notion, you know they say they’re not pressuring me or anything, but in the tone of their voice, it feels like I’m only worth anything, is if I’m doing something.
Thank you! You have comforted me through the phrases like, we are in this together, scared, there is no right path, and for the first time - we are doing something by ourselves. Your words are like the words from that friend who lifts you up when you're neck down. I pray that you get to be full of greatness like in this video!
graduated uni during 2020. could not get a job because of covid so instead took a chance to monetise my art hobby. 3 years of working on it I reached a sizeable following and get enough work to pay bills/survive some part of me felt FOMO for uni friends who were now working in stable jobs, so i applied for a job- got it and that's when I realised what I had was much better than doing 40-hour week in an office. now im back to being an artist with a greater appreciation at least 😅
I am so glad to have found this video! You speak the truth symbolically louder than the volume in head about life after graduation. I am also thankful to not be alone in this journey.
As someone who gained "freedom" to choose any of the three paths recently, it's daunting to think about all the possibilities, all the ways my life can go from now... It's at least fun to see it's a much more common thing than I imagined, to be unsure and overwhelmed at this point in life
very good video. i see "the right path" to be the path that YOU want to be on. to find it, all you need to ask yourself is "what do i want in my life right now?" not what do you want in 1, 5 or even 10 years. what do you want NOW? then start making steps to make that a reality. you have plenty to worry about right now, let alone your future self.
I've been graduated for almost 2 years, feel lost especially job application feel like scam nowadays. In my place at least you have 2-3 years experience on the field is a must. How could it be the experience that I've had in uni just passed by away like that. Wish everyone keep going on your dream and journey called 'life" 😊✨
I was very fortunate to have made 2 smart decisions as a teenager. community college + comp sci major I was able to avoid debt and get a good paying job after working on my programming skills for 6ish months after graduation and applying to several hundred jobs with no responses. It was definitely worth going down the job path immediately, because even though its stressful more often than not, I feel like this is my opportunity to get ahead. Hopefully this hard work pays off and my 30s are much more comfortable.
my mom always tells me about how high in demand jobs related to comp sci and cybersecurity are but god i hate all that stuff!! i wish i liked it but i love writing stories 🥲🥲
I have this year and the next until I graduate, and somehow it is nice to know that life after graduation is just life regardless of how much I long for it and look forward to it. Even if it’s just the normal life, my hope is that I’ll finally have time and energy for myself when I never gave myself the time of day even as a middle schooler or high schooler. Plus getting rid of exams, of course.
I recently have been wanting to find something to help me sense I’ve been emotional lately this video really helps I’m graduating this year and honestly it’s not easy but it will be worth it to go into the next chapter of life I’m probably going to go for school again sense I’d like to continue my education
Joined the army, miss school all the time, had no care in the world, party’s all the time, sports all the time, no responsibility. A place you see hundreds of friends every day. Don’t realize how good that was till it was gone
As someone coming from a mixed bag of privilege and burnout from hard work, I just think this message (and generation) is not untrue, but way too cynical. You don’t have to pick a career and be stuck with it. It’s never been easier to learn new skills, network, and find jobs. I wish people would just stop putting so much dread out on the internet because there are so many great experiences and opportunities to be had no matter what path you choose. You just have to seek them out, don’t wait for them to fall into your lap.
This was my exact feeling when I graduated college. The first month was okay because i got to celebrate with friends and family and make up the sleepless days to rest after eternity of thesis and exams. However job hunting felt depressing even now. Not to mention getting valid ids in the philippines post-graduation were challenging. Imagine pursuing a degree, working hard on an unpaid internship and even landing in a dean's list, only to be told to be rejected by more than 20 job applications. I got scolded by my parents saying I should work harder, but that what I am doing in betweek freelancing (my family never considers online or freelancing as a real job sadly ). To everyone who is at lost like i am as a former graduate whose struggling to find a next job, it can be miserable sure, but you are a not a loser for struggling in this fast-paced society. Enjoy your life most importantly. Doesn't have to be big or grand, don't overwork yourself.
Having kids can be a big responsibility. We should think carefully before bringing a new life into the world. Can we give them a stable and happy future? It's not fair to bring a child into a world with many problems. Being a parent is a big job, and we should try to make the world a better place before having more children.
Sruh tan, Thank you for not making this video bone chllingly terrifying but instead a happy what to do guide/you are not alone/do whatever you want and fits and that telling us that everything is going to be ok.
I never thought i’d be a gap year struggling to get into uni kinda student, however here is where i am. I graduated w a specialist diploma in may and was lucky enough to find work before i even graduate in a research facility. It was my first ever proper “adult” work and i was handling students and workers way older than me. I left that job after a year and applying to uni in january but from my time at work, i realised what i studied has little to do with what i intend to pursue in the future and that sucks. My gpa isn’t the best and my work and internship experience aren’t transferable. I can’t stand working for another year as it is, after working full time iv learnt to appreciate school so much more. I’m trying to take things as is but it’s hard. All the best to every other struggling person out there
I have one year of my master's left and I relate sooo much to this video. Two months ago I got this panic attack like omg we're all going to die one day, what's the point in doing anything?? Ofc I have some things I want to do like travel and buy a house but all of these things seems trivial when the existential angst/dread sets in. Whether there is an afterlife or not, our existence here on earth is temporary. Since then I'm trying to enjoy this last year of school and trying not to overthink about the future. I just hope that I find some sort of satisfaction in my every day life rather than chasing an idea of happiness....
I've experienced so much at uni and as a student and living in a city coming from a small town is such a huge difference. I'm scared at the thought of going back home because its so quiet and being into creative work, small towns have very little opportunities for this kind of work. It almosts feel like i'm back at square one. I'm going into my final year of uni, so i'm just bracing myself for the future. I dont have enough financial stability to stay in the city i'm currently in, and I fear i'll also lose my friends or people i've met through uni.
im doing a gap year coming out of high school and i feel like, maybe unwillingly, im getting a sneak peek of door 3 and feeling these really "adultish" sentiments. im envious of my classmates who have just jumped into the routine of another school schedule at uni. sometimes i feel stuck in time compared to then. other times, i feel like ive aged so much. but i like to believe taking this path will be good for building my confidence and self worth 🫶 thanks for the video, it made me think.
Needed to hear this today. I submitted my MA thesis earlier this month, and two days later moved out to a new city. I am just floating for now, and I have to remind myself that it's ok. It has only been a couple weeks, and according to my university I am still a student because my graduation will be held this winter, but it's hard to feel like I'm on an autumn vacation, or something. Thanks for this video, I feel less alone :)
I'm gonna be honest: college ( university) was the worst thing that has happened in my life. Ever since I was studying for the entrance exam, up until now that I'm getting my Master's, it has been the worst time of my life. Sure, good little things have happened here and there but university didn't let me grow, it made me older.
Best advise I can give people entering college or graduating college is stay off social media. I still struggle with comparing myself to others. I went to a school with a lot of wealthy kids. So I felt like a failure for a long time seeing them get all their free handouts and getting the big jobs at a young age. 26 now and finally got my first job aligned with my degree after working for it and earning the move, but don’t compare yourself to others. No longer how long it takes to reach a goal you had, who cares if it takes a little longer. You will appreciate it a lot more and be a lot better of a fit for your position than those who are given the free handout early. As well, get experience. College degrees for majorities of fields are not seen as a priority for hiring anymore. Most people with Masters with zero experience struggle to find anything cause no experience. Don’t rush and do what is best for you and do not goto school just to follow a trend to be in debt.
I think there’s only one way out of this situation and that’s to move on, not necessarily trying to get to any work just for the sake of it, but to move on with your life, coming back to school is not an option; you won’t experience same moments and emotions, your old friends will not sacrifice 5 years of their life just for you, and it also means you’re not getting any progress in life, you can go to a different university to get different degree, maybe, but both of those ways mean that you’ll prolong your dependency from parents, financially and mentally. And that won’t get you anywhere, I suggest try different jobs, find what you like, maybe try to get a family going once you’re financially independent and stable. Past this point I don’t know what to say, I am currently on this same crossroad of deciding what to do with my life. Things may be a bit different here in Russia though
As a graduating student this year, the moment 2025 came, I began to feel the stress, overthinking what my future will be after college. I am just an average student, I am not fluent in English, I am introverted, and my communication skills suck to the point where I keep asking myself, 'Am I going to pass every job interview in the future? Or am I going to be unemployed for a very long time after graduation?'
When I was 17 years old, I chose to go to school for computer science. I really wanted to get into the gaming industry. That didn't last very long because at 20 I changed my mind and began pursuing cybersecurity. I almost landed a CS job at Amazon with my CS degree. Fast forward to now, and I am going deep into the rabbit hole of digital forensics, a sub-field of cybersecurity. I will be out of my grad program at 25. I feel like getting a degree in digital forensics while I get a handle on some of the requirements I need for a good digital forensics job and get a job in another closely-related field. Not too sure what the optimal move is, but I am confident that I will be in a more comfortable place by 30. I'm not entirely sure if what I know now in the DF field is enough to be good at a job, so I want to be better safe than sorry.
When did you start learning about coding/computer stuff? Technology fascinates me but I never started at a young age compared to those who desire to pursue cs.
I'm not scared of it, but that's because I was abused and was denied my chosen path all along. So my fear was replaced with anger from the very start. To me, the majority of society is an enemy to fight against and always has been. The meaning of life from my perspective is to fight for my survival in the face of people who want to tear me down, so I fight everyday and never stop. I celebrate progress, and anger fuels my drive. Maybe one day when I win my fights and I'm not angry anymore, maybe then I can catch up and feel fear about uncertainty. Until then, it's just another fight.
i hated going to school started working instead and semi fucking up my school. then i went to japan i realised what i wanted, so now i like to work and study finishing my bachelors and later my masters. I must say i used to hate studying but now i love it a lot. Work seems so repetitive same shit different day with school i love to learn new things. Hopefully after graduating i want to be ai engineer or built cool robotics seems cool and im very passionated about it.
I got that nice Data Analyst job at a major bank right after graduating. The most miserable 2 years of my life, stucked because the job market sucks. Finally got a new job offer and having a 6 week break to regain my confidence.
I can relate cos i wanted to work from first year once i graduate and I did have the job but omg i so much hated it fr.... I am grateful tho but now i am still yet to graduate and I dont even want to work after fr ....... I mean i can stay in school for a little longer.
Im a highschool senior right now and about to graduate in a few months. I am literally so scared I have college applications right now and its stressing me tf out. I don't know what I want to do I feel like my peers around me have everything figured out. I'm thinking about taking a gap year or go to community college first to allow me some time to save up and find what I'm truly passionate about. I feel so scared I feel so lost right now.
highly recommend community college. i went straight for my bachelor's & have sooo much debt & now i'm not even sure if i *love* what i chose to do lol.
I graduated 1.5 year ago, and I couldnt find any job for 1 year, and I didnt had the option to continue studying due family circumstances. Then I got dropped out of home, For 1 whole year I was living in a homeless like home where it was constantly freezing, and only had ancient furnitures, and mold everywhere. I found a job as a system administrator, but the rug was pulled out under me, and Im back at the same scenario again, with a mortgage just to stay alive. Ye, if you have the family to go study more and be more competitive, please pick that, adulthood is just sad and depressing.
According to my understanding one wants to become strong economically one also want to really know what really matters depending on this one can choose the field in which graduted and can excel in it finally making world better for our and other selves
The young lady who made this video could easily go into broadcast journalism. She has made this video so she has something to show a potential employer.
Everyday even as I start a new school which is community college. I think about how i graduated high school, how ultimately it didn't mean anything. I'm still the same kid with a lot of expressions to solve.
I still find working much less stressful than all those days I spent staying up to finish my assignments. Granted, I do not work in those advanced jobs with experts that do reports and stuff.
I’m currently an auto body technician I went straight to work after highschool lived with my parents for 3 years after graduating and now I finally got my own place and holy shit it’s rough out here I’m only 22
As an 11th grader who's nervous about graduating, moving out, and life after High school.. Ima save this video and other videos like this with my lists of saved videos on How to get closer(relationship wise) to God.
i just graduated two months ago and i feel totally lost i really don't know what should i do next. this feeling never left me from that day i thought i'd be happy getting my master degree i thought life would be enjoyable and days would been fun but they are just dull and void with no single emotions just dullness.
Got a job after graduation. Told myself that i would take a year of working to figure out what i wanted to do. It's been two years, and everything i wanted to so requires money. And my job just doesn't give me much money. There aren't places that pay more than where i work right now. Told myself i can't stay with my parents forever and barely have enough money since i pay 800 in rent and 50 for my phone bill. Didnt want to do college because i dont think it's for me. Not yet. So i decided to follow my brothers footsteps since he was in the same place i was. I enlisted.
I graduated a month ago and I thought okay I'd figure what I'd be doing but I'm still not now. I thought I was going to be okay but now I'm panicking because having no certain work kills me, but also too scared to look for a job. I'm working on some things but I fear it's not going to work (well, like the creative paths). I want to do graduate school but somehow I'm not confident I'll get the scholarship. Life feels miserable for me rn but I hope I can be back to this comment telling you that I'm finally fine.
I finished my biology major on march this year and immediately started my post-grad (literally, the first day of class on the post-grad was also the last class on my undergrad.) And being honest, I desperately tried to get in this masters program because I was too afraid of asking myself what I would do if it wasn't that. I also finished my second major (graphic design) in june (completely forgot I was in two undergrads at once) and I'm actually planning to do a specialization on aesthetics and cosmetology next year. You can see I have no idea of what it is to not be a student and I'm so afraid of not finding a satisfying job I keep postponing my working career.
just use any entry job as a stepping stone, hell use any job you get as a stepping stone for a future, better thing that can come along. don't trap yourself to one career.
Just leave school and start working. My parents pressured me into 4 year school when i didn't want it knew it would be bad for me and waste of time and money. I after 1 semester talked them down to 2 years and that was cheaper and faster and ended up still being a waste of time. Got into IT and didn't need the degree. Make Over 6 figures now and college was of ZERO use. This doesn't apply to all careers but kids need to reevaluate the value of college
It's a different scenario. Being in school usually means being around people of similar age. After graduation, it's more tricky to be in such a situation again.
I’m in OTA school. It’s hard, I don’t have lots of fun, I study and work. But there’s a high demand for OT practitioners. I’ll be able to work in the field in 2 years. Thanks for this video it ks encouraging to me
@@Livdoesbakingyay!! my comment is kind of negative. I just want to update you since you’re new to the field . I finished my first semester in OTA school and some of it was fun. The hard work is worth it and I made friends through study groups. Don’t be influenced to feel negative about it because of my previous comment lol
As someone on the job path, imma tell you right now there is nothing i've encountered so far that is even half as stressful as school was for me. Adulting can be scary and a little confusing but also so much simpler than older generations make it out to be.
i think it’s also comparative like older generations are like “you think school’s hard? wait til you get into the workforce…” but like… school is ridiculously harder and more competitive now??

Im 15 in the uk and scared of my gcses. I dont even want to think about a levels @@robertjr8205
Unless u like me and got a stressful ass sales job🥲🥲 they tell me to do work at home
“We payed money to be depressed? I could have done that for free.” Priceless. This made me laugh harder than anything all week
Y'know, the happy music juxtaposed with existentialism is really doing wonders for my anxiety.
Each path will have it's pros and cons. I picked door #1 and I found that it's harder for me to meet new people and keep up with my friends. With a stable job though I find I have more free time to pursue my hobbies and enjoy life in general
btw your videos are really good! Been following since journal video :) Keep on making new content!
thanks so much for the encouragement 🥹💗 and for sure - I’ve definitely heard how hard it is to maintain a social life while working vs being in school! just another one of those big hurdles to go through
I recently graduated in 2023 (technically Dec. 2022), and I honestly feel this. I really had no clue what I wanted to do with my life when I graduated, and I still don't even a year later. I'm basically just trying to figure it all out at this point. I decided not to do graduate school because I kinda got sick of all the homework and stress associated with being a student. So now I'm essentially stuck in a huge predicament. My mom even seems like she is a little upset with me for still working the same dishwashing job that I had while I was in college.
This is 80 percent of graduates. You were defrauded by society.
Either look for a job from ur major, assuming it wasn’t a worthless major or get a better job. Dish washing is not something you’d want to say u did ur entire life.
@@dannynav2 I know that dish washing is not a career. My problem is that I just don't know what specific career path I want to take. My degree is in mathematics. I needed a break anyway with how burnt out I was when I graduated.
@@joemacy2776 accounting/finance is ur easiest path, at least you’d get paid more and ur degree is flexible so could always do something else with it
I'm the same I'm still figuring out what I want to be. I noticed that I have never really wanted to do my major as a job so now I need a new purpose. I recently started teaching and I started to like it. I'm not sure if this is what I would do for the rest of my life but I dont think we are really meant to do one thing for the rest of our lives. With time we will figure it out, so give yourself time and focus on your wellbeing. I neglected my wellbeing so much I ended up being burnt out. Wish you the best
I didn't even attend my graduation day ...I was too exhausted to stand and receive a diploma I was so done
It's been a year of unemployment ,look like it's gonns be longer and I don't have a life like never traveled, my friends have other friends, i am broke to the point where i can't afford a taxi fee , i have no dream or ambition....so if you ever felt miserable don't worry there's someone much much more miserable than u are , you're not in the bottom yet
Unfortunately for everything to get better it HAS to get worse. You can blame your government the education system and also the people/citizens for allowing such fuckery to ensue. The same people who made your education system already told you “We don’t want a nation of thinkers, we want a nation of WORKERS” so the way you feel now was the way they WANTED you to feel in the first place. Everything happens for a reason tho and if you innerstand cosmic/universal law you know that hard times are just the catalyst for spiritual growth. Stay in the fight 👊🏾
I pray for you ❤
Sorry to sound naive but how did you physically get you're diploma then? Just curious
wow I also didn't attend my graduation day cause I was just tired and it's too much trouble. I have a part time job that pay me dust and constantly think what the fuck I'm doing here. Seeing people do things I'm aspired to do if only I had the random chance of being born with parents that have financial stability or care a little more about me is kinda crushing.
Anyways glad to see another bottomer here
currently going through a similar situation, will be going back to uni for higher education next year, hope things work out like i want to
I will be graduating high school in 2025, and I needed this video. Really, I did. From being a small kid with no brain cells to a grown teenager, I have seen the world in not back and white only, but shades of grey. The thought of having to decide what I want to do in life or how I’m going to find a stable job does worry me. However, I will take it slow. I still have time, and I really want to be capable of transforming my life into something else.
Keep up the great work
i just graduated university 3 weeks ago and looking for a job rn is so difficult. i feel like I'm competing with thousands of other people for the same positon, which I am and idk. my peers who are ahead of me in life told me it took them months, even up to a year to find a career and it makes me so scared because I feel like I have this pressure on me to immediately find a job since I just finished college but I know its going to take time. school was always a pain for me so going to grad school isn't something I wanna do. now that I got my bachelors in english/sociology im hoping to find some decent work in the coming time. my degree is very broad but damn that post graduate depression do be hitting. thanks for this video, im glad this came up on my feed in a time of confusion
omg i feel the same way! I graduated about a month ago with a degree in sociology and it seems like everybody around already has a job or they already planned the next step in their education. I haven't had much luck with jobs and am considering a part-time job at ulta since my brother said to get a retail job to get my feet wet.
@@hannah-vv9ru i feel you fam! im currently working right now so I'm not too stressed but eventually of course id like to make my degree worth all the time, money, and tears I put into getting it. thing is everyone is on their own timeline so try not to compare yourself to them and what they're doing. i compare myself for competition to see what I can be doing better but besides that were all gonna be in different areas. the best thing I like to remind other college graduates is that we already have what we need to succeed in finding a good job, we just need to give shit time and put effort in looking. i wish you the best of luck and if you wanna talk via social media I'm here for ya since were in the same boat LMAO
any luck with the job hunt yet?
@@djcze not yet unfortunately. have had interviews and applied but just keep getting denied. i won’t lose hope yet though i’m gonna keep trying cuz i’ll land something eventually. all that matters is you keep trying
I feel like you're talking about me, even though I'm studying the same major, but the difference is that I haven't graduated yet. I have a year and a half left, and I feel lost and depressed after graduation from now on!
I think we should switch our perspective on working for the rest of our lives: We should work to live, not live to work. I’m a senior in high school, and I plan to go to college so I can get a decent job to live comfortable and support my future family. I don’t care about being rich, I just want to live my life spending time with the things and people I love most. I want to go into computer science because I am a little interested in computers, and I can handle sitting at a desk all day. It’s not something I’m “passionate” about, but something I’m at least interested in that can pay the bills. I want to use my work as a means to live my life (Working to live). I am passionate about having a family, making art, traveling, video games, and other things. Again, I want to use my work to enable me to pursue my passions, even if they aren’t my full time job. You don’t need to make your passion into a job, and that might not even be possible (Doesn’t mean don’t try). You don’t need to find the purpose of your life in your full time job because, for most people, it’s just to pay the bills.
Bottom line, don’t live to work, instead work to live. Don’t put all of your life’s meaning into your work, and enjoy your life. Godbless 😃
Keep that energy fam. Society will try to drain everything you love from you mentally. I’m 22 and I can tell you now…. It’s not the job itself, it’s the people and their dumbass shenanigans that ruin the job.
As a freshman in college class of 24’ in HS please enjoy this last year do you work get the most out of Highschool but please enjoy it at this age it’s true that we are the happiest in Highschool take care
Exactly. All the confusion of what you want to do with the rest of your life is solved by just picking something! You don't have to have some magic dream job you love every second of, just get something comfortable.
You have the right mindset. I just graduated this past spring and got a job but bruh…i came to the realization that i care about the thing you do as well. Idgaf abt being RICH like everyone at my company…and it’s making me depressed bc i don’t want to go job to job. You got a great mindsettt. I hope you do great things
@@AriiD112 Keep your head up man. You’ll do great too. God Bless
As someone who is 33 married with a mortgage and a child, I just want to say we older guys don't have all the answers... I just did whatever made me happy when I wasn't working. Overall life might seem pretty boring, but it's simplicity is what allows us to appreciate it for what it is. It's simple things like seeing your child smile, laugh, enjoying your coffee in the morning while watching your shows... Finding stuff to do in weekends, even if they are mundane, vibing/dancing while cooking...
I love this film!! Literally no critiques I just kept catching myself smiling whilst watching especially in the more upbeat last chunk of the video. Thank you for making something so awesome. You've made my day!
Oh to be a squirrel scurrying around in a satisfyingly edited UA-cam video ✨
we are all just squirrels… curiously inspecting and scaring away the camerawoman that is God
"What keeps me going anyways? i don't know, some parts are nice" goddamn it, if this isn't right. And it isn't grandiose experiences either but the small collection of things that catch your attention somehow only because they make you feel something so familiar and unrecognizable at the same time
That only works if there are enough good things to keep you going. I dont know what to look forward to because nice things are way too rare
@@cooltwittertag genuinely, you have to carve out nice things for yourself. make more time for friends or hobbies that you used to like but have fallen by the wayside, pick up new hobbies, spend more time in nature, etc etc! being more intentional about seeking these nice things out makes it way less difficult to keep going
Six months after graduation I had my quarter life crisis. Looking back now 2 years later with a great job, in my own apartment, it wasn't so bad :) That discomfort was just the growing pains of growing up.
Do what you like to do. Usually you do this because you are good at it. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Develop three things you are good at, for example writing, deep knowledge in a specific subject, a second language or project management skills. Opportunities will then arise where these unique combinations of skills sets you apart from others. This then becomes the foundation for your career, and will take you around the world and through tough times which inevitably come. It will also keep you in a job for 40+ years.
Just make the decision you think you'll regret least and know that you tried your best.
This video is EXACTLY exactly exactly EXACTL-Y what I have been feeling since I graduated from my tech college last year. Thank you for putting it into words for me.
I’m 26 years old, I’m from the Philippines, and I just graduates from college last month. (Technically, I graduated last year, it’s just that the ceremony was last month) I have been studying there since 2015, and when I finally graduated, I thought it would be the happiest and most fulfilling day of my life, but after that day, I just felt… the same. Like I don’t feel anything, I just felt the same feeling I got when I graduated high school. So I just sat around my house, helped around the sari-sari store in my house, but recently, my parents have been telling me to find a job, and I want to really, but I have going to college for nearly a decade now, like next year is gonna be the 10th anniversary of me first enrolling in college (also the 10th anniversary of me graduating high school). I told them there’s no deadline to me not finding a job almost immediately after graduation, but they scoffed at that notion, you know they say they’re not pressuring me or anything, but in the tone of their voice, it feels like I’m only worth anything, is if I’m doing something.
what degree do you have?
You're a wonderful writer, feel exactly the same way about everything you said. Feeling so lost
Thank you! You have comforted me through the phrases like, we are in this together, scared, there is no right path, and for the first time - we are doing something by ourselves. Your words are like the words from that friend who lifts you up when you're neck down. I pray that you get to be full of greatness like in this video!
graduated uni during 2020. could not get a job because of covid so instead took a chance to monetise my art hobby. 3 years of working on it I reached a sizeable following and get enough work to pay bills/survive
some part of me felt FOMO for uni friends who were now working in stable jobs, so i applied for a job- got it and that's when I realised what I had was much better than doing 40-hour week in an office. now im back to being an artist with a greater appreciation at least 😅
Sounds interesting can I see some of your work?
👏🙌✊️😄🩷
Bro won
Currently 1 year on path 3, connected with a bunch of path 1s and 2s. I think we can all say “We’re all scared together.” Thanks for this 😅
never been so depressed after graduation
I am so glad to have found this video! You speak the truth symbolically louder than the volume in head about life after graduation. I am also thankful to not be alone in this journey.
As someone who gained "freedom" to choose any of the three paths recently, it's daunting to think about all the possibilities, all the ways my life can go from now... It's at least fun to see it's a much more common thing than I imagined, to be unsure and overwhelmed at this point in life
very good video. i see "the right path" to be the path that YOU want to be on. to find it, all you need to ask yourself is "what do i want in my life right now?" not what do you want in 1, 5 or even 10 years. what do you want NOW? then start making steps to make that a reality. you have plenty to worry about right now, let alone your future self.
Thank you for making this. I just graduated and chose the continued education route and have been struggling. This helped a little.
you're gonna be okay. keep going
I've been graduated for almost 2 years, feel lost especially job application feel like scam nowadays.
In my place at least you have 2-3 years experience on the field is a must. How could it be the experience that I've had in uni just passed by away like that.
Wish everyone keep going on your dream and journey called 'life" 😊✨
I was very fortunate to have made 2 smart decisions as a teenager.
community college + comp sci major
I was able to avoid debt and get a good paying job after working on my programming skills for 6ish months after graduation and applying to several hundred jobs with no responses.
It was definitely worth going down the job path immediately, because even though its stressful more often than not, I feel like this is my opportunity to get ahead.
Hopefully this hard work pays off and my 30s are much more comfortable.
If I may ask, what’s the job you are doing now man?
my mom always tells me about how high in demand jobs related to comp sci and cybersecurity are but god i hate all that stuff!! i wish i liked it but i love writing stories 🥲🥲
Comp sci and cyber are STILL stable? Nice!
I just graduated from hs since May and I really needed to hear this. Thanks you
I just wish i could stay in high school forever and swim through life, always discovering but never having to decide my doom (choosing a job)!
literally all my feelings in 1 video
This is such a comforting video ❤ Really resonate with it despite still being in college!
I’m not even a freshmen yet so I’m not really sure why I’m here, but I’m glad I stuck around and watched the whole video :) you’re great!!
currently still in high school but overall i still have a positive outlook for my future post grad!! hope i live
I have this year and the next until I graduate, and somehow it is nice to know that life after graduation is just life regardless of how much I long for it and look forward to it.
Even if it’s just the normal life, my hope is that I’ll finally have time and energy for myself when I never gave myself the time of day even as a middle schooler or high schooler. Plus getting rid of exams, of course.
I recently have been wanting to find something to help me sense I’ve been emotional lately this video really helps I’m graduating this year and honestly it’s not easy but it will be worth it to go into the next chapter of life I’m probably going to go for school again sense I’d like to continue my education
Joined the army, miss school all the time, had no care in the world, party’s all the time, sports all the time, no responsibility. A place you see hundreds of friends every day. Don’t realize how good that was till it was gone
As someone coming from a mixed bag of privilege and burnout from hard work, I just think this message (and generation) is not untrue, but way too cynical.
You don’t have to pick a career and be stuck with it. It’s never been easier to learn new skills, network, and find jobs. I wish people would just stop putting so much dread out on the internet because there are so many great experiences and opportunities to be had no matter what path you choose.
You just have to seek them out, don’t wait for them to fall into your lap.
This was my exact feeling when I graduated college. The first month was okay because i got to celebrate with friends and family and make up the sleepless days to rest after eternity of thesis and exams. However job hunting felt depressing even now. Not to mention getting valid ids in the philippines post-graduation were challenging. Imagine pursuing a degree, working hard on an unpaid internship and even landing in a dean's list, only to be told to be rejected by more than 20 job applications. I got scolded by my parents saying I should work harder, but that what I am doing in betweek freelancing (my family never considers online or freelancing as a real job sadly ). To everyone who is at lost like i am as a former graduate whose struggling to find a next job, it can be miserable sure, but you are a not a loser for struggling in this fast-paced society. Enjoy your life most importantly. Doesn't have to be big or grand, don't overwork yourself.
Pursue your passion. Success and financial reward will follow if you are passionate about what you want to do. Start small and grow.
Having kids can be a big responsibility. We should think carefully before bringing a new life into the world. Can we give them a stable and happy future? It's not fair to bring a child into a world with many problems. Being a parent is a big job, and we should try to make the world a better place before having more children.
Sruh tan, Thank you for not making this video bone chllingly terrifying but instead a happy what to do guide/you are not alone/do whatever you want and fits and that telling us that everything is going to be ok.
wow this is a brutal but really honest take, thank you for sharing so candidly!
I never thought i’d be a gap year struggling to get into uni kinda student, however here is where i am. I graduated w a specialist diploma in may and was lucky enough to find work before i even graduate in a research facility. It was my first ever proper “adult” work and i was handling students and workers way older than me. I left that job after a year and applying to uni in january but from my time at work, i realised what i studied has little to do with what i intend to pursue in the future and that sucks. My gpa isn’t the best and my work and internship experience aren’t transferable. I can’t stand working for another year as it is, after working full time iv learnt to appreciate school so much more.
I’m trying to take things as is but it’s hard. All the best to every other struggling person out there
I have one year of my master's left and I relate sooo much to this video. Two months ago I got this panic attack like omg we're all going to die one day, what's the point in doing anything?? Ofc I have some things I want to do like travel and buy a house but all of these things seems trivial when the existential angst/dread sets in. Whether there is an afterlife or not, our existence here on earth is temporary. Since then I'm trying to enjoy this last year of school and trying not to overthink about the future. I just hope that I find some sort of satisfaction in my every day life rather than chasing an idea of happiness....
I've experienced so much at uni and as a student and living in a city coming from a small town is such a huge difference. I'm scared at the thought of going back home because its so quiet and being into creative work, small towns have very little opportunities for this kind of work. It almosts feel like i'm back at square one. I'm going into my final year of uni, so i'm just bracing myself for the future. I dont have enough financial stability to stay in the city i'm currently in, and I fear i'll also lose my friends or people i've met through uni.
im doing a gap year coming out of high school and i feel like, maybe unwillingly, im getting a sneak peek of door 3 and feeling these really "adultish" sentiments.
im envious of my classmates who have just jumped into the routine of another school schedule at uni. sometimes i feel stuck in time compared to then. other times, i feel like ive aged so much.
but i like to believe taking this path will be good for building my confidence and self worth 🫶 thanks for the video, it made me think.
A very good video! But I am wanna do all three at the same time))) I feel like I can do it! Just 2 months left before my happy freedom!!!
First time viewing your videos. Just wanted to say your writing, narration and filming are great; keep it up….take care.
Needed to hear this today. I submitted my MA thesis earlier this month, and two days later moved out to a new city. I am just floating for now, and I have to remind myself that it's ok. It has only been a couple weeks, and according to my university I am still a student because my graduation will be held this winter, but it's hard to feel like I'm on an autumn vacation, or something. Thanks for this video, I feel less alone :)
I'm gonna be honest: college ( university) was the worst thing that has happened in my life. Ever since I was studying for the entrance exam, up until now that I'm getting my Master's, it has been the worst time of my life. Sure, good little things have happened here and there but university didn't let me grow, it made me older.
It totally agree. I think back and weigh out the pros and cons of school and most of it was cons, the only pro really is just getting my degree.
so i had graduated high school this year and its like idk what to do i feel so lost and hopeless and its so depressing
Best advise I can give people entering college or graduating college is stay off social media. I still struggle with comparing myself to others. I went to a school with a lot of wealthy kids. So I felt like a failure for a long time seeing them get all their free handouts and getting the big jobs at a young age. 26 now and finally got my first job aligned with my degree after working for it and earning the move, but don’t compare yourself to others. No longer how long it takes to reach a goal you had, who cares if it takes a little longer. You will appreciate it a lot more and be a lot better of a fit for your position than those who are given the free handout early. As well, get experience. College degrees for majorities of fields are not seen as a priority for hiring anymore. Most people with Masters with zero experience struggle to find anything cause no experience. Don’t rush and do what is best for you and do not goto school just to follow a trend to be in debt.
Thank you for this!! ❤
thank you for watching!! 🥰
The dark humour entertained me. +1 Like.
lmaoo glad you enjoyed 🥲
I think there’s only one way out of this situation and that’s to move on, not necessarily trying to get to any work just for the sake of it, but to move on with your life, coming back to school is not an option; you won’t experience same moments and emotions, your old friends will not sacrifice 5 years of their life just for you, and it also means you’re not getting any progress in life, you can go to a different university to get different degree, maybe, but both of those ways mean that you’ll prolong your dependency from parents, financially and mentally. And that won’t get you anywhere, I suggest try different jobs, find what you like, maybe try to get a family going once you’re financially independent and stable. Past this point I don’t know what to say, I am currently on this same crossroad of deciding what to do with my life. Things may be a bit different here in Russia though
As a graduating student this year, the moment 2025 came, I began to feel the stress, overthinking what my future will be after college. I am just an average student, I am not fluent in English, I am introverted, and my communication skills suck to the point where I keep asking myself, 'Am I going to pass every job interview in the future? Or am I going to be unemployed for a very long time after graduation?'
When I was 17 years old, I chose to go to school for computer science. I really wanted to get into the gaming industry. That didn't last very long because at 20 I changed my mind and began pursuing cybersecurity. I almost landed a CS job at Amazon with my CS degree. Fast forward to now, and I am going deep into the rabbit hole of digital forensics, a sub-field of cybersecurity. I will be out of my grad program at 25.
I feel like getting a degree in digital forensics while I get a handle on some of the requirements I need for a good digital forensics job and get a job in another closely-related field. Not too sure what the optimal move is, but I am confident that I will be in a more comfortable place by 30. I'm not entirely sure if what I know now in the DF field is enough to be good at a job, so I want to be better safe than sorry.
When did you start learning about coding/computer stuff? Technology fascinates me but I never started at a young age compared to those who desire to pursue cs.
@@something3476 If you ever want to start learning, go ahead but never compare to others besides yourself the previous day.
I'm not scared of it, but that's because I was abused and was denied my chosen path all along. So my fear was replaced with anger from the very start. To me, the majority of society is an enemy to fight against and always has been. The meaning of life from my perspective is to fight for my survival in the face of people who want to tear me down, so I fight everyday and never stop. I celebrate progress, and anger fuels my drive. Maybe one day when I win my fights and I'm not angry anymore, maybe then I can catch up and feel fear about uncertainty. Until then, it's just another fight.
You stole them words outta my mouth bro.
Peace Be Unto You 🤍
Great video, really relatable and nice touch with humour and truth. All the best!
i hated going to school started working instead and semi fucking up my school. then i went to japan i realised what i wanted, so now i like to work and study finishing my bachelors and later my masters. I must say i used to hate studying but now i love it a lot. Work seems so repetitive same shit different day with school i love to learn new things. Hopefully after graduating i want to be ai engineer or built cool robotics seems cool and im very passionated about it.
We looked too far ahead and not what’s in front of us.
I got that nice Data Analyst job at a major bank right after graduating. The most miserable 2 years of my life, stucked because the job market sucks. Finally got a new job offer and having a 6 week break to regain my confidence.
I can relate cos i wanted to work from first year once i graduate and I did have the job but omg i so much hated it fr.... I am grateful tho but now i am still yet to graduate and I dont even want to work after fr ....... I mean i can stay in school for a little longer.
the existential crisis contrasted with the happy music and visuals is amazing
Yep. A year + graduated... no "real job" and a 2 mental breakdowns in... and still searching 😂😂
Honestly scared for my future
Thank you
I feel relief ✨
I fuckin love the contrast of the happy go lucky music and the harsh commentary
7:41 - in the thick of it 🤣
Everybody knows
WHOAAAHHAHAHAAHAH
THIS IS HOW THE STORY GOES
WHOAAAOAAOAAAAA
THIS IS HOW THE STORY GOES
This satisfied my inquiry of what a "Sol Badguy" is! Thanks!
I'm graduating this year. Right now I'm living in a semi see through bubble but I know the post-grad depression is coming.
Wow. I didn't even get the chance to walk the stage due to COVID restrictions
Im a highschool senior right now and about to graduate in a few months. I am literally so scared I have college applications right now and its stressing me tf out. I don't know what I want to do I feel like my peers around me have everything figured out. I'm thinking about taking a gap year or go to community college first to allow me some time to save up and find what I'm truly passionate about. I feel so scared I feel so lost right now.
highly recommend community college. i went straight for my bachelor's & have sooo much debt & now i'm not even sure if i *love* what i chose to do lol.
don’t let them trick you life after school is awesome
I graduated 1.5 year ago, and I couldnt find any job for 1 year, and I didnt had the option to continue studying due family circumstances. Then I got dropped out of home, For 1 whole year I was living in a homeless like home where it was constantly freezing, and only had ancient furnitures, and mold everywhere. I found a job as a system administrator, but the rug was pulled out under me, and Im back at the same scenario again, with a mortgage just to stay alive. Ye, if you have the family to go study more and be more competitive, please pick that, adulthood is just sad and depressing.
Super awesome video. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this topic.
Graduated my bachelors in 2022, this is spot on
According to my understanding one wants to become strong economically one also want to really know what really matters depending on this one can choose the field in which graduted and can excel in it finally making world better for our and other selves
The young lady who made this video could easily go into broadcast journalism. She has made this video so she has something to show a potential employer.
I'm gonna rewatch this after graduating (in ±2026)
I graduated last year and this video is so based, damn.
Ur voice is so nice and ur videos are inspiring im a hs senior waiting for acceptances 🎉
I’m in high school and I am preparing myself as much as I can for the ever creeping high school graduation that will leave me depressed
I'm gonna come here 2½ year after this
"I think the post grad depression is real for a lot of people."
*Jokes on you I am already depressed at my final year lol*
Everyday even as I start a new school which is community college. I think about how i graduated high school, how ultimately it didn't mean anything. I'm still the same kid with a lot of expressions to solve.
I’m on the figure out what I wanna do path while working on something completely unrelated and my anxiety has never been higher
I still find working much less stressful than all those days I spent staying up to finish my assignments. Granted, I do not work in those advanced jobs with experts that do reports and stuff.
I’m currently an auto body technician I went straight to work after highschool lived with my parents for 3 years after graduating and now I finally got my own place and holy shit it’s rough out here I’m only 22
As an 11th grader who's nervous about graduating, moving out, and life after High school.. Ima save this video and other videos like this with my lists of saved videos on How to get closer(relationship wise) to God.
i just graduated two months ago and i feel totally lost i really don't know what should i do next. this feeling never left me from that day i thought i'd be happy getting my master degree i thought life would be enjoyable and days would been fun but they are just dull and void with no single emotions just dullness.
As a freshman finishing the first year…. Yea im FREAKING OUT 😢….. but it will work out in the end…..i hope
Got a job after graduation. Told myself that i would take a year of working to figure out what i wanted to do. It's been two years, and everything i wanted to so requires money. And my job just doesn't give me much money. There aren't places that pay more than where i work right now. Told myself i can't stay with my parents forever and barely have enough money since i pay 800 in rent and 50 for my phone bill. Didnt want to do college because i dont think it's for me. Not yet. So i decided to follow my brothers footsteps since he was in the same place i was. I enlisted.
I graduated a month ago and I thought okay I'd figure what I'd be doing but I'm still not now. I thought I was going to be okay but now I'm panicking because having no certain work kills me, but also too scared to look for a job. I'm working on some things but I fear it's not going to work (well, like the creative paths). I want to do graduate school but somehow I'm not confident I'll get the scholarship. Life feels miserable for me rn but I hope I can be back to this comment telling you that I'm finally fine.
you've got this :) make goals & take small steps at a time ! it'll all work out one way or another
I finished my biology major on march this year and immediately started my post-grad (literally, the first day of class on the post-grad was also the last class on my undergrad.) And being honest, I desperately tried to get in this masters program because I was too afraid of asking myself what I would do if it wasn't that. I also finished my second major (graphic design) in june (completely forgot I was in two undergrads at once) and I'm actually planning to do a specialization on aesthetics and cosmetology next year.
You can see I have no idea of what it is to not be a student and I'm so afraid of not finding a satisfying job I keep postponing my working career.
just use any entry job as a stepping stone, hell use any job you get as a stepping stone for a future, better thing that can come along. don't trap yourself to one career.
Just leave school and start working. My parents pressured me into 4 year school when i didn't want it knew it would be bad for me and waste of time and money. I after 1 semester talked them down to 2 years and that was cheaper and faster and ended up still being a waste of time. Got into IT and didn't need the degree. Make Over 6 figures now and college was of ZERO use. This doesn't apply to all careers but kids need to reevaluate the value of college
It's a different scenario. Being in school usually means being around people of similar age.
After graduation, it's more tricky to be in such a situation again.
I’m in OTA school. It’s hard, I don’t have lots of fun, I study and work. But there’s a high demand for OT practitioners. I’ll be able to work in the field in 2 years. Thanks for this video it ks encouraging to me
I am starting OT school in the fall! Best of luck!!
@@Livdoesbakingyay!! my comment is kind of negative. I just want to update you since you’re new to the field .
I finished my first semester in OTA school and some of it was fun. The hard work is worth it and I made friends through study groups. Don’t be influenced to feel negative about it because of my previous comment lol
@@MaggieMayVeveo thanks for your input! I am starting an MSOT program so I understand it’s going to be a little different.
