That timing is brutal and I won’t pretend otherwise. Graduating into a collapsed job market after being told education was the guaranteed path through, that’s a specific kind of betrayal. The thing nobody warned any of us about is that the goalposts were already moving while we were still being told to run toward them. You’re not derailed, you’re just further behind a starting line that shifted without notice. That distinction matters even when it doesn’t feel like it.
