I know applying for a job is nothing to be excited about in reality but hey man I shot out four applications and once I finish these cover letters I'll be able to apply for a bunch more. It's a numbers game that's what they keep telling me. Also they're all university jobs and I'm a student so it'll be a fun experience.

gently caress you weepy millennial stereotype I'M GONNA GET ME A JOB AND MAKE A LIFE FOR MYSELF gently caress YEAH YEEHAW COWABUNGA :pcgaming:

the only thing a job does is allow you to go into more debt

that doesn't make sense

look all I want is a job to do while I'm at school so that I can save up some money and stop relying on my parents so much for money

like if I work 20 hours a week at 7 bucks an hour thats 140 a week sounds p good to me, working that job will pay for my rent!

Totally lolled at this. I had a similar thought when reading the OP, only I focused on how long it would take before reality crushes his spirit.

OP- science degrees are kinda worthless unless you have a masters. If you're not very ambitious and don't mind a life teaching high school physics, then you're probably good to go.

Edit:

Totally missed the bit about working while continuing to go to school. Never mind, good luck, OP.

I know I need a msters, the future is hazy, but the present is: get a job! getting a job will help me get my head on straight cause working and labor are good for the soul. At least, not the mind-crushing kind of labor. Good labor. I hope I get an ok job.

I won't.

I mean you didn't choose to be born but you can choose when you die.
