    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.

      @@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.

      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 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.

    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 😃

    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.

    I’m 26 years old, I’m from the Philippines, and I just graduates from college last month.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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'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.

    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.

      College is for employment. You landed the job, you don't need school anymore unless you want to stay in academia or are going into a few specific fields. Employers barely care about degrees anymore anyway so if you go the job, you're good. Most polls show that employers care far more about work experience than degrees.

      I haven’t graduated yet. I’m hoping to enter the work force for a few years before (possibly) working toward a graduate degree. I already know that if I get a job, I will feel similarly to you. A part of me wants to keep climbing and is intellectually curious, but another part feels like it is pointless and the diminishing returns and stress isn’t worth it. Stay strong, work for at least two years and use that experience as leverage for a better job or advanced degree program. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, it seems that having an advanced degree still doesn’t include any “work experience”. At least you don’t have to bang your head against the wall trying to get that first job. Seriously though, I saw an internship near me that wanted a math PhD or masters with experience and paid only 16-18 an hour. Utter insanity. You are probably making more than that with less suffering. So take your victory and enjoy it, even though it may not be as sweet as you desire
