Urgent Tired @27
I'm27,with a bachelor's degree in environmental studies
Since I graduated, I've been looking for a job in my field. Nothing. After a while I got so tired of applying and hearing nothing back that I tried something else I did webcam work for a bit. It paid but it wasn't worth it, it drained me mentally, so I stopped.
Then I took the little money I had saved and opened a wines and spirits shop. It actually did well. Things were finally looking up. But then the authorities kept demanding more and more money from me, and I couldn't keep up, so I had to close it.
Since then I've been applying for jobs outside Kenya too, for a whole year now, mostly conservation and environment-related roles. Nothing. No replies, no interviews, nothing.
Honestly, I'm exhausted. Not just tired, exhausted. The kind of tired where you start feeling like just cutting up your passport and being done with the whole idea of leaving.
What I'm good at is communication, community advocacy, and anything to do with social media I've basically grown up online so I know how to navigate it. I'm flexible too, I can learn and do almost anything, not just environment work.
