2 days agoI visited New York for the first time with a friend of mine who has family there and knows the city well. We went to Grand Central and I was admiring the beautiful artwork on the ceiling and a guy passing by called me a “fucking idiot”.
I was surprised and turned to my friend to ask if he was talking to me, which they confirmed. I was actually really happy, I got the infamous NY harsh street talk! I’ve traveled all over the world and never was spoken to like that anywhere else. NY is truly very special.
Just want to say that your degree is not toilet paper nor do you lack real world skills.
You have real skills and your degree reflects that. What is the issue is the system under which we exist not valuing certain skills and certain people. As this system, especially in the US, crumbles further everyone will struggle more and more to find work that pays decently, including those with the currently ‘valuable’ degrees.
I don’t have much advice for you other than what you’ve already done, except maybe lean on your family if you have one or can, but I hope you find a job soon, Comrade.
