I am planning to move into the News department. Could you shed some light on it?
First off, I'm glad I gained an education and am grateful I was able to do so with a scholarship, so I am without debt unlike so many of my peers. Though my (Journalism & Communication) B.A. degree hasn't helped me get a job at all. I've been unemployed for 12 years now post-grad, have no experience and a huge gap in my resume.
I've applied to so many jobs over the years it's gotten to the point where job searching sends me into a spiral of depression, anxiety, and sleep issues. I've even applied for housekeeping jobs and don't even get a response. I've been living in a rural area, a drive away from a small coastal tourist town, so the few jobs there are in primarily in the service industry or fishing.
For the last decade+ I've done a lot of (unpaid volunteer) work to help people in my life who need help. I've also been an active advocate for the natural world.
I really hope a universal basic income (UBI) will happen in the future. It would probably prevent a lot of suicides.
Feels like I'm doomed to a life extreme poverty, in the doldrums of housewifery, endless unpaid caregiving and manual labor. I've had four friends kill themselves. Nothing makes me wanna jump off a cliff more than 'job searching'.
😭Good luck. 🤯🔫
P.S. I just wanna pick berries and mushrooms, grow a garden, fish and dig clams...etc.
Capitalism is the problem. 🔥 Wish we could go back to the ways of the Native peoples. 🥹
