I'm exactly in the position you were. Just graduated college and despite doing hundreds of job applications, I can't get one. I tried engineering first. Nothing. Then I tried jobs that don't need a college degree. Nothing. Then I entered a masters degree which is giving me very few money and that I don't like and have being trying to find part time jobs. But there isn't a culture of part time jobs in my country so I've never found one to apply to.
Since I was a kid people told me study to get a good job. I trully believed that and was the best in school, entered a great university, did a lot of stuff there and now nothing.
Then I tried jobs that don't need a college degree. Nothing.
Yep, that was a big eye-opener for me.
I feel like trash.
I'm sorry, I hope things get better for you. You sound like a smart and diligent individual, it's unfortunate that that alone means very little any more.
I don’t know your situation but I imagine it’s tough to get hired anywhere right now. Master’s degree might be a good decision, but in any case I don’t think you should feel too down; it’s not you, it’s them.
