fixing myself a Jean Bradford
I'm really tempted to drink myself into an oblivion tonight. I'm not going to, because I don't like the idea of becoming an alcoholic even though I feel pretty low. Going to the Adoration chapel is probably a better idea

I just wanted to say that I know exactly how you feel. I have two degrees, and I was never able to land a good job. Before working at a coffee shop, I was an assistant manager in a retail place, and I was only able to land that after a year of non-stop looking. The only reason I pulled out of the depression was because I entered grad school.
I have no advice because I never was able to find the trick of the work world. People lie to us about college. They say it will open so many doors, but if you don't have all these other things, like connections, a sell yourself attitude, an interest in capitalism in some form or another, then you are left spinning your wheels or totally unfulfilled.
The truth is, is you either pick a job or a career. Either way, you have to start at the bottom and slowly work your way up.
Perhaps we don't know what we are worth? I mean, we are quite intelligent people, right? We are passionate and friendly, educated and dependable. You'd think the degree would open up some major doors for us. But it doesn't seem to.
I wish I had advice. All I can do is commiserate. I'm sorry. :(
