A stable job with good pay would fix everything

[peacefulnights]

I wish I could work a stable job, even 60 hours a week, where I could have housing, food/water, utilities, and healthcare. Maybe a night out with my friends every other week. It has been over half a year and 100s of applications later and I cannot do that. I did everything I was told to, do well in school, go to a good college, do internships, get a job, but that job was 90+ hours a week and I couldn't do it. I am confused on how to live as it gets more bleak in the world and getting a job gets harder. I cannot go back home as I have a really bad situation there that is unsafe. I have to make it on my own and always had to. Man I wish America, just the world, would give the younger generation a stronger reason to live.

Same problem here. I had a job 3 years ago but lost it due to my curse. I wrote hundreds of application and went to around 40 interviews. I am at my wits end. I studied and had really good grades plus i have the relevant certificates. This issue exists here in Germany too. It feels fabricated by the government IMHO.

90 and 60 hour working weeks? Where the hell is this?

Work is vital and the world is taking it away from us. No idea why.

Corporate America lmao, do not recommend but I live in a HCOL area so these jobs are necessary if I want housing, food, healthcare, etc.

They're saying it's all about skilled labor now. White collar jobs working for someone else are mostly being replaced by "AI".. when the true reality is they are being outsourced to India and the phillipines at 25 percent the cost of labor.

Lucky for me I caught a case so I'm forced to do hard labor as it is! I feel like plumbers and electricians will be the last to be replaced by bots.
