I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs and have had zero luck. I’m disabled (but I don’t look like it) and never mention that when applying so it can’t be that. Maybe it’s because I never went to collage (I’m 20 so I still have time- but school made me want to d*e), but even jobs that don’t require a degree never get back to me. I’m getting nowhere in life. I’m so tired of this. I’m at a loss on what to do. I want to give up trying and just resign to living with my parents for forever.

Avren, I have good news. You're just having your first life crisis that many of us go through where we question and doubt what we are doing. I had a major one at 24/25. I've had another since. These are opportunities to decide if you're good with your life's course or if something needs to change. You're very young, and you will have the opportunity to reinvent yourself and change your life path multiple times. I'm 36 and I still see a bright horizon of chances to change if I so choose. So the job situation isn't working out and it looks dismal, where can you think outside the box and explore some other options. At 20, I'd strongly encourage you to take another look at school (either higher education or trade school). Life in America without a college degree or other elevated training may be bleak. I hated school, but I viewed it as a means to an end. And in the grand scheme it's just a few years of your life that will open doors for you in the future. Stay positive

Hi Avren, I'm reaching out as I'm working on a project with my financial firm. We work with a lot of individuals to help them supplement new streams of income, using an educational platform that teaches wealth principles.

Are you open to learning a different industry, even just part time?

I don't know if it'll be a fit for you or not, and if not all good. Love to network and at very least there may be someone you know who is a fit.

Let me know if you're open to a 20–25-minute conversation.

Look forward to seeing if I can help in any way.

How do I politely resign? I was going to put my two weeks in last week, but it felt inappropriate because my boss was hospitalized. She is back from the hospital now but still isn’t feeling well. I start my new job on the 12th 🙃 I don’t want to be a jerk but this job is not a good fit for my current lifestyle.

Is it advisable to proceed? They're not asking any money from me they are sponsoring for visa. Is it safe

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type.

Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent
