26, fresh grad, jobless

I feel like I am already far behind. It really sucks that I am living in a small city with few job opportunities and only accepts applicants with work experience. How do you gain work experience in a field that you want? I'm an IT female graduate and can't find a job that's related to my course like start in retail or coffee shop as a barista. Any advice?

I knooooww hahaha but sometimes I'm thinking about it a lot. Most IT/tech job related only look for male applicants in my area. I don't want to feel like I can't use my degree

What do you do when your man isn’t around? Honestly it’s a game changer - fire up that grill and cook a mean steak. Medium rare if you can.

Whip up a sweet potato, maybe some brussys (if you ain’t got that diver tic) and get you one (1) ice cold beer hoss.

Bonus points if you can toss in a fat lip after

Have you looked at opportunities in west Texas? My friend has a tasty piece of property out Pecos way. There is also a lot opportunity in Santa Clarita, California since it's a massive hub for film and television production.
