I am 23, graduated in august and i feel like nothing is working in my favor. I have sent hundreds of job applications and i have had no job offers yet. I feel stuck and lost. When does it get better seriously? How soon does a person secure their first job?

20s are for discovering yourself I don’t know why everyone is pressed on achieving everything by 25 you have a whole life ahead of you

From @COUNTRY_YOO:

I understand you but that doesn't mean I still can't do those things before 26, Or am not supposed to get worried and push to get all these things at a very early age. The point is if it doesn't come now, just keep working till it later comes but don't stop wishing it comes now.

Just turned 24, Already felt like a failure. Realizing I’m still living off my parents for 24 years kills me. I’m in school, I don’t own a house or Car. Just a good Bicycle & dog breeding side business. This pressures, I think, are okay for a boy child’s dev. But patience is key.

From @destinyacoffey:

Don't tell people this. Most people period are not making six figures and never will at any age. Don't shame individuals for the poverty that is baked into our system.
