I'm way more sad than I am angry

2018-11-15 02:04:51 UTC  

That's pretty shit :/

2018-11-15 02:04:53 UTC  

I dont understand why it's so impossible to find a full time job

2018-11-15 02:05:37 UTC  

I never thought at my age and with a 4yr degree I would be working 2 part time (slightly over) minimum wage jobs

2018-11-15 02:07:15 UTC  

I think it's worse with degrees actually.

2018-11-15 02:07:31 UTC  

I never struggled prior to getting a degree but, then again I relocated and dropped a really good job for this move, so I dunno.

2018-11-15 02:07:52 UTC  

I just did a recruitment/logic test that was straight up some Airforce shit.

2018-11-15 02:08:12 UTC  

I'm unsure if I passed it to be frank. I know I got at least 70-80%.

2018-11-15 02:08:43 UTC  

The degree is irrelevant, the only jobs qualified for don't even give a shit

2018-11-15 02:08:49 UTC  

@FUGUBARAKUN what is your degree in?

2018-11-15 02:08:55 UTC  

Economics

2018-11-15 02:08:57 UTC  

And are you applying to jobs in that same industry?

2018-11-15 02:09:07 UTC  

There is no industry

2018-11-15 02:09:13 UTC  

Well then.

2018-11-15 02:09:20 UTC  

gg college

2018-11-15 02:09:25 UTC  

I knew I was played

2018-11-15 02:09:27 UTC  

That logic test I just did was some straight up "calculate the flight of a swallow on the Atlantic winds using only this ti84 calculator and a bible."

2018-11-15 02:09:54 UTC  

Then you’re basically in the same position as a high school grad. Build up some employment history.

2018-11-15 02:10:00 UTC  

The only industry for my degree is more school, and then teaching it

2018-11-15 02:10:05 UTC  

hah

2018-11-15 02:10:09 UTC  

Employment history is worth more than a degree.

2018-11-15 02:10:11 UTC  

I've been employed for 20 years

2018-11-15 02:10:15 UTC  

I have work history

2018-11-15 02:10:22 UTC  

Its just irrelevant

2018-11-15 02:10:35 UTC  

I mean what you're facing isn't abnormal - most people do not actually end up in their degree field.

2018-11-15 02:11:04 UTC  

So this test was pattern recognition via dots in a set of patterns, consisting of four images, three shown and one blank you had to fill in. Basically a logic test.

2018-11-15 02:11:23 UTC  

I felt legitimately retarded on 3-4 out of 15.

2018-11-15 02:12:37 UTC  

You can relate job history to any job

2018-11-15 02:12:38 UTC  

I made the mistake of doing it now too, at 3am when I was more tired. I was expecting hypothetical questions concerning sales, not sorting logical queries.

2018-11-15 02:12:51 UTC  

I related being an aircraft mechanic to doing tech support

2018-11-15 02:13:13 UTC  

It’s all about how you sell yourself

2018-11-15 02:13:18 UTC  

The only jobs here are more part time food service and sales

2018-11-15 02:13:21 UTC  

If I get the job I will feel like the dude from limitless though.

2018-11-15 02:13:35 UTC  

@FUGUBARAKUN is it because of the area you live in?

2018-11-15 02:13:45 UTC  

I'm sure it is

2018-11-15 02:13:55 UTC  

Surrounded by 4 military bases

2018-11-15 02:14:14 UTC  

Jobs are either min wage service, or aerospace engineers or medical

2018-11-15 02:14:14 UTC  

There are always contract positions for the military bases

2018-11-15 02:14:22 UTC  

And I have one

2018-11-15 02:14:39 UTC  

My 2nd job is DoD civilian position

2018-11-15 02:14:41 UTC  

Are you just looking to upgrade then?
