Does anyone else have a degree but can't get a decent job? I've had a maths degree for almost a year now and still haven't been able to get one. My brother suggested getting a minimum wage one like at a pub but with the price of everything being so high now working for minimum wage doesn't seem worth it unless you have to. On one hand I really want a good job but on the other i've been trying so long maybe i should give up and take one that any schmuck can do.
I think for me especially jobs have less value because I like spending time alone gaming and my social skills suck anyway so i wouldn't gain any of the social benefits from having a job or moving out. Plus there aren't many negatives to living with my parents other than not bringing girls over.
Help convince me to get a shitty job and move out.
imagine going to college but not learning how to start your own business

she looks cute and tomboyish nise

>other than not bringing girls over That alone makes moving out worth it imho. I'm in a similar boat though, been graduated from college for over a year now, still no job. I played with the idea of getting a min wage job to move out, but realized I didn't even have enough money to rent a car to move and rent for the first month. I'd already be living paycheck to paycheck on min wage if I moved out, so being a few thousand dollars in debt on top of that would be a miserable existence. Since then I've only been thinking about and applying to salaried, full time jobs, but no luck so far. The demoralizing part is that I intentionally applied to shitty places to build my confidence and interviewing/job applying skills up, but none of them have gotten back to me yet. Pretty depressing ngl.
I have a structural engineering degree but I couldn't get work because of my abysmal social skills. Struggled to get a minimum wage job, took me a year. I have never passed an interview in my life Shitty work is shit. You will seriously begin to consider some extreme options just to get out of minimum wage hell. You will work mind-numbing or joint breaking work, nothing inbetween.

yep, I want to kill myself for not choosing computer science or getting any internships in college. I can't seem to muster the effort to lrn2code and apply to 256 jobs to get 3 interviews. for now I rot in my bedroom.
Alexander Nelson
>math degree HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAH OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO MY FUCKING SIDES
Lincoln Gray
Did you do internships? I know you already heard that before. It's to get filler for your resume. Ya ya everyone knows right. But the real reason is to check to make sure you can actually make it with your degree much less get a job in the first place. Too late for you to hear it by now but eh maybe there's some other anons out there. Working any job is better than none (inb4 le wagecuck NEET retards). Future you will need the money.
t. never managed to do anything with my degree, was too proud to wageslave, sat around doing nothing, now I have nothing.

I suck at interviews too, the only jobs I've had didn't require one Eh, after working a warehouse job i'd rather not get laid and have no job than get laid and have a job that soul crushing
Jaxon Nelson
You're not getting a job by 'learning to code' unless you're a trannygger. The resume gets filtered automatically by computer algorithms if you don't have the right degree, then HR does a second pass to further filter you, only then do you get an online assessment (anyone can do that, it's just leetcode memes), and only after that are you perhaps given an interview (slots depend on racial and sexual quotas. If there's a 200 pool and, due to the workforce having been hired 10 years ago, currently need to pad down their stats on w*m*n and nigs and troons and shit, that means 180 of the spots are reserved to these undesirables).
Austin Butler
you will never be anything more than middling coder at best
Nope couldn't find one I was interested in. Yeah I think you're right I just need to find one that doesn't suck as much as the last one i had.
It's soo painful right? spending hours applying to jobs that you know probably won't hire you and if you get an interview you have to have an answer prepared for every question and be ready to ask questions at the end or they won't think you're interested enough. fml Not to mention feel like you're being interrogated the whole time because there's 2 or 3 of them and one of you.
Josiah Powell
Are you OK user? Are you having a stroke? Need someone to call for help on your behalf?
Ayden Price
it took me almost three years after i graduated before i got a job in my field, and i graduated with two engineering degrees. don't give up hope, don't quit. don't take a minimum wage job either - there are plenty of jobs outside your field that "suck" but aren't minimum wage and would provide a good stopgap until you get a better job. Bank, insurance, underwriting, paralegals, etc...
This thread is fucking hilarious. I'm so glad I dropped this shit and got a trade. All of you scrambling and screaming to get a job helping the oligarchs spy on people for a better globohomo of tomorrow
Joseph Powell
Really? I went to /biz and biz user literally say how easy to get a job with his sloppy resume since they need man power urgently.
Connor White
Trades pay fuckall outside the US and ausfalia, though. Meanwhile they often require schooling (2 years rather than 3 or 4 though) and you have to buy starter tools to even show up as an apprentice in almost all cases. Better than getting nothing by failing to get a job, and frankly, it might be worth getting into a trade while applying for a job in the meantime. if you can't get the job while you're training, you'll at least get something lined up in the end. Plus, it will carry you through any downtime in whatever your job is, and teach you practical skills. However it's a crapshoot of a career path since unless you do the 'start your own company' meme, you'll have destroyed your body completely by your 15th year on the job, usually for pennies.
Jeremiah Clark
There is no labor shortage in any skilled profession at all, it's just mass media memes. It's easy to get a job if you're a nignog though, regardless of time, place or field. That is completely and utterly unrelated to any workforce issues.
Cooper Collins
I got a good degree in business law. No chance to get a job. Tried hundreds of applications. Nothing. I went for a totally different field. I am now studying social work. Even though surprisingly the subject is MUCH MUCH more difficult it is so much easier to get a job in this area. I literally sent 1 application and got a job.
Zachary King
pure math is pretty much useless unless you teach it
I would suggest going to community college and going into accounting, probably will be pretty easy for you if you are good at math
Joshua Scott
Trades are even more competitive to get into than university here No "just go to trade school for free $250k job lmao" in my country. You compete to get onto a 4 year apprenticeship where they pay you 1/3 of minimum wage where they can drop you at any time
Noah Green
That's better than here. Here we need to pay 50k to do a 2 years training at a local college to be eligible for a 5 years apprenticeship at 1/3 of minimum wage that can drop you at any time. When you make journeyman you finally get 1-1.5x minimum wage, yay!
William Bell
no it isn't. if you have a pure math degree you can easily go into finance, or if that's not your thing there's a lot of cryptography work that can be done with a degree like that. especially with the en-ess-ayy
James Ortiz
Neither crypto nor finance hire from math. Finance hires from stats and prob specializations, which can come from the school of math, but that is not considered math by mathfags and that isn't pure math whatsoever. They also hire from physics far more than from any kind of math. Crypto hire from discrete math, computer science, statistical physics and stats, information theory, etc. Two of these have the same caveat as before, but none of these are pure math.
