JacksEarth is on a distinguished road
Default College and student loans -finally- pays off!

I'm being sarcastic of course.

So a year and a half after college..
(in which I spent all my time living with my family who just wanted a reason to kick me out..)

I finally landed a job, Warehouse worker, lowest possible legal salary.
And its not even in my own country, its in England.

Not only does trading time for money make absolutely no sense at all.
I'm finally giving in to it. I'll be trading my life.. for a mere slack.

I cant stay at my parents anymore, and I cant seem to find an income.
I dont know what I want out of life in terms of career so going back to college is senseless as I'd have nothing there to read.

I guess this will be a worthy life experience.. when I'm old and -finally- been promoted to supervisor of the warehouse maybe I'll look back and say "finally" and die peacefully.

Sorry for this rant but I dont have that many to confide in so I confide in strangers on internet forums..

What is your degree in? What do you enjoy and do for fun?

Keep doing your best. Most people change careers many times during their life. Your first job doesn't have to be your dream job. Try to learn from them.

Know how many jobs I've had?
Grocery bagger... Wal-Mart pharmacy tech... electrical and plumbing tester for mobile homes... construction worker... bookstore clerk...

None of these were dream jobs, but they served their purpose at the time, and I learned from each of them more about myself and more about life.
