May I just rant for a moment? I'm upset with stuff in America. Not even the "big stuff," but the small stuff.
I live in a city, or more accurately the town next to a big city. We don't have sidewalks except downtown and near certain places. Our roads are large and if I were to want to walk a mile down the road with my dog to get some ice cream from the local ice cream place I'd have to constantly dodge cars or just be in other people's yards to not die. To walk. It sucks, and I hate it.
I also can't find a job, and that is really bothering me. Due to a lack of car and the lack of wanting to die to walk to somewhere, I'm limited as to my options. Some people have even said, "just move." Yes, I'd really like to transplant my life to a completely unknown area with all this extra money I have. I'm totally able to do so. I have to look for third shift jobs which isn't bad, but I am still limited by what I can do. Tried for a job at a retail store for overnight (which they don't do anymore because I don't even know I guess why pay people to do a good job when you can rush them in four hours and then pay them minimum wage) and checked out my town's bus routes. For something ten minutes away by car (crossing a highway that is heavily congested with vehicles) it would take a total of two hours to get there by bus. That includes twenty minutes walking to the bus stop in town. That also includes the bus going all the way around the town, changing buses twice, and then finally arriving. Two hours. For nothing.
I applied to a job the other day and, whilst I at least received the email rejecting me, it's still annoying that it was only put up that day. It had already been filled. I had tried a temporary employment agency too, and all they did was sell my information and get mad at me when I inquired about jobs. This was at the recommendation of someone else that I know, too. Very frustrating.
I don't know whether it's more enraging or depressing…

sorry comrade america is basically hellworld. i was in your place 4 years ago and i joined the army. although it opened my eyes to a lot of shit about america and class, the military industry, and the thought process of many different types of people, not to mention some very useful skills i learned, i cannot recommend it to anyone if your a leftist, especially in this current military climate. im getting out in a few months and it seems like i have no idea what to do but shit its better than being a pawn for bombs and money. i really am sorry because i know that hopeless feeling. just try to read, keep up relationships, keep up your physical health, while also knowing that self help can only go so far in capitalism. i recommend running for exercise and to clear the mind. stay strong comrade

I feel you OP, I've got a B.S. in a good STEM field and me and literally everybody I know from uni is unemployed or working fast food. Can't even imagine how hard it is for someone without a college degree. I'm going to have to get a min wage job soon and it feels like I wasted my life in school for no purpose at all.
James Johnson
You know the sad thing is that those without a college degree will be ever so slightly better off because their tiny fast food paychecks wont be wasted on paying off student loans

I always wanted to fuck susan so badly. She's my dream mature after michelle pfeiffer
I got my first job in SF while I was homeless after getting my GED. I was an alcoholic and lived on a roof but could get a job no problem. I became a security guard and moved companies whenever I found a better position. You can just leave and start fresh, hell borrow like 300$ and you can live a month at a hostel while you find a job. If you dont have ugly tatoos, are clean and can pass a drug test you can get a job easy reguardless of race. Stop comlaining and do somthing because when your older youll regret what youre doing now.
Julian Moore
Oh I almost forgot, if you have trouble finding open positions go to either a temp agency or better yet an employment development department and talk to a placement specialist. Remember that show ugly Americans? The main white guys job was placement specialist. They just ask what you can do and find a job that fits. It really is very easy, everyone that says it isnt thinks anyhting short of having somthing fall into your lap is too hard.

this is why I just started working at 18. Now I have a career and years of experience to back me up. Not everyone needs to go to college. More often than not its smarter to join an occupation with room to grow. Even my brother started as a cashier at safeway and now hes a manager.

I have an introvert friend who was working in retail until he recently changed jobs. It's remarkable how much happier he became immediately.

I have the same problems word for word my friend, and im in the small town rural south Think about how shit our infrastructure is. If you arent in a large city proper roads are all designed to force you to buy a car you cant afford with money you dont have from a job you can't reach Youre fucked on all angles, I got out by getting an apartment right next to my job, that my friends had previously been driving me to. Eventually I could buy a car, but couldn't​ afford a car and a home.

The temp agency here sold my information. Fuck temp agencies.
