Just because I don't know what I want to do with my life doesn't mean I'm not trying to figure it out. I keep sending out applications, and they keep telling me they want someone with more experience. How can the unemployment rate be so high if everyone is looking to hire experienced workers?? I read today that the unemployment rate for people 20-24 is like 5 points higher than the national average. I have a feeling that the real percentage is a lot greater. There has to be a lot of people like me that just moved back in with their parents after school and are looking for jobs from their basement. Those sorts of people haven't applied for unemployment..thus, can't be counted as actively looking for jobs.
All I know is...I can't get a job because I don't have any experience, I can't get any experience because I don't have a job. I suppose I could go be underemployed somewhere, but is it really fair to them if any moment I could just jump ship to the first best thing that comes along? I don't think so. I think I just need to keep looking, keep an open mind, and keep my head up, hoping someone will take a chance on me.
