Went to express.com to buy some stuff. Ended up applying to work there.
And aren’t you glad you went on for your Master’s?
I did everything “right” and am still applying for jobs I could have gotten at 18. Worst decision I ever made.
I’ve had many friends who’ve had to spend wilderness years selling furniture, working at Pizza Hut, waitressing, or whatnot. It always ends (thus far) with them eventually getting a job that actually utilizes their education. Don’t fret too much.
