I haven’t been able to find a job in 16 months and it feels like I have to pass through the eye of the needle to have a life
I got a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from a ‘good school’ and yet I never got a good entry level job in the field so I was just wandering the wastelands for a long while before I got a good corporate bullshit job from which I got fired after 3 years and now I have no actual engineering skills and tens of thousand in college debt
I’m 33 and live with my parents and I’m in this constant cycle of living with them until I find a good job in some far away city. They live in a remote place where the only jobs available are 7.50 and yet the living costs are absurd so really, you’re pretty much working just to work. The problem is I can’t move out and do human things such as live by own and have a meaningful because I need a decent salary to survive, and that can only happen if I get something in a far away big city. I don’t want to have to fend for peanuts living paycheck to paycheck(i’ve already tried that a couple of times) in some rathole in a city but I also hate living with my parents so I’m forced in an all or nothing mindset where I need to have a decent salary. I wish I could just take a low wage jobs in some other city but the logistics don’t allow me to.
I feel like I’m rambling, I just feel incredibly stuck, my social life and dating lives are nonexistent and I’m completely fucking broke. I just masturbate all day in my parents house. I have a degree that should be lucrative according to this shitass society, I’m not the archetype of a basement dwelling reddit loser because I do have drive and have moved from place to place and worked and clawed my way through life and stay fit and know how to talk to women and I constantly feel like I shouldn’t be where I’m at but…I kind of am a fucking loser.
Experience shows me that, I guess, this too shall pass and I should land on my feet but god damn I’m regressing constantly and every aspect of my life can’t be moved forward if Instay with my parents in this town. Sorry to rant
You're viewing a single thread.
Are there seasonal agriculture jobs in your area? They aren't exactly fun but especially with overtime can pay quite a bit. Now is about the time a lot of them would be hiring.
Alternatively you might check out room and board type jobs anywhere.
How would I go about finding either agricultural jobs or room and board type jobs? Would massively appreciate if you could elaborate just a bit.
assuming you're US, the department of labor has a site for seasonal listings
I think I've got links on my computer so I'll try to find them when I get home, but sometimes they don't advertise super well so it might be a matter of looking up what farms exist in your area and calling them.
There's a few sites dedicated to room and board jobs so I'll try to grab links for those too.
Other than that searching "seasonal harvest jobs" will pull up some of them.
Sorry for the late reply. I couldn't find my old bookmarks, but here's what I found from memory:
https://www.coolworks.com/jobs-with-housing
https://old.reddit.com/r/roomandboard/comments/r4748p/room_and_board_megathread/
As well as the link the other comrade posted. I did search my old job on there and it didn't show up, so it may be worth searching google for companies and/or checking local labor boards
