Sick of feeling skint and prospect-less

I have so many friends whom have come into money, and even you watch telly and see these house buying programmes and the buyers have like £150,000 budgets and it is bafflinc how anyone can have that amount of money to hand.

I don't trust anyone who claims to be a student but has more than 55% battery at any given time

Lmao wtf is this calculation

Posted from TSR Mobile

this weird calculation doesnt give you anything meaningful lol. battery remaining/battery used in time to get home = number of times you can go to and from your house before the battery runs out? wat

I am 26 years old and a graduate earning £7.25 an hour at 35-40 hours a week. I come out with £between £400-450 a fortnight, but it never lasts long. Rent is £300 pm, bus fare is £15pw and then there are bills and such (which is split between us both), im left with about £60 at end of my working week.

.................

I've always worked hard but it hasnt gotten me anywhere. I graduated uni and still nearly two years on I havent landed a junior role because of my lack of experience. I have had interviews but alas never get past them.

If i had a better job I can afford to go away to the US (my childhood dream), to bug nice things. But Im getting nowhere.
.................

I suffer from anxiety in relation to my job as I hate it...but im stuck at the moment.

Im just very frustrated that all my efforts at uni and im my life have landed me in ge very place I didnt want to be in the first place. On minimum wage in a unprofessional job with bullies

nah mate it's meaningless. you want how much battery you can drop down to before you've gotta go home? doesn't even require a calculation. you want how much battery you've got left. literally just battery left - battery used going home. you're overcomplicating a simple calculation to get a useless answer

you dont need to worry about me not getting it lmao... lets just say unless you're a pure maths student at cambridge, if i dont understand it, you probably dont either haha

A degree is not enough to get a job. You need work experience, preferably in the area you want to work in. You said you didn't get past the interview. The fact that that the employers are letting you go to the interview stage means they are interested in you. Did you ask for feedback on how you did at interview?

There are jobs in Digital Design but the field is very competitive. You will need to get your portfolio together as well as some work experience. What area in Digital Design do you want to go into?

I think you should stop envying rich people - this is a waste of your time, which could be better used in sorting out your anxiety and getting your career started. There'll always be rich people. I know an investment banker mate who got married - the wedding costs my pay for the whole year x several years of my life.

im confused. your calculation gives you a unitless value, and everything you've said after that doesnt make sense.

and lmao attempting to talk down to a trinity maths offer holder. im actually very triggered rn hahaha. u dont even do pure maths! what uni do u go to? if its a poly im gonna piss myself laughing

I have always known that a degree isnt enough to get me a job, well certainly not a degree alone.
I have a lot of general working experiemce, however, I have never had any relevant work experience or held down a job in the design industry as of yet. Unfortunately I also didn't do a work placement, although I have volunteered in my spare time for organisations on an ad hoc basis designing bits and pieces. All in all I have a years worth of freelancing/voluntary on my cv.

Yes, understandably I know emplouers are interested, but even with feedback its udially a case of 'we had another candidate that was a better fit or more balanced skills'. Although feedbacl has varied across my interviewing. I think its a confidence issue with me too.

Recenty ive decided I'd like to go into User Experience design however I didnt study this at length apart from a yr 1 module. I may sign up for a few free classes to bulk up my cv.

I think the envy over myrich friends cause me to feel low right now and i guess i just want to start my career. But im losing patience. I guess all this talk about my degree been worthless doesnt help as I genuinely Worked hsrd for it.

You've clearly worked very hard and I think you should be proud of that.

Your uni would have connections with industry and they'll know when work placements come up. Even if you have graduated, you could still contact your uni's student union, and your former tutors to see if anything comes up. You alumni organisation (social group for ex-students) at the uni could help too.



I get that it is a confidence issue from your first post. Worth asking when you get feedback what they would consider a better fit / more balanced skills.



The free classes will give you some skills but not useful to add to your CV. You need something that make you unique from the other applicants, and/or something that will make the employer think 'I'm interested in this guy'.

I've got a job because the employer was intrigued by my course and my gap year spent travelling and working helped too. I've asked for feedback after I got the job (to address any areas of weakness) and that's what they told me.



There's a lot of degee and uni snobs on TSR, like the OP who argued with me on this thread. They're just using the name of a top uni to buy them some class. I've never seen Stephen Hawkings do that on TSR .


I don't think your degree is worthless. You survived uni and you got a degree, you clearly have the brains.

Your job is knocking down your confidence and you should go looking for another job, even if the wage is low, just to get away from that sh*thole.

I have been thinking of signing up to like online certification sites that provide resources and certs in subjects, but they come at a cost and I dont know if it will help me any much more.

Yes I dunno if youve read my other threads, but I work in mcdonalds and its just a dreadful place to work. Degrading, managers are bullies and power mad and i just feel ive sold myself out.
...............
The wkrkers are immature and its just dead end. People have made remarks about my performance at work which annoys as im disabled too.

Yeah guess im stuck in a rut and need to realise my worth. Only took the job so i could move in with partner and support her to pay bills and move to a city. But the risk hasnt paid so far.
