Does anyone have stories about their time as a wagie?

Here's mine
>got scholarship
>got my bachelor degree
>continue studying
>got my master degree
>had some of the best grades on every class, and extremelly familiar with anything related to my profession
try to find an entry level job
>get meet with
>"nope, you're over qualified"
>"nah, you don't have experience, at least 2 years of experience"
try to aim for higher level job
>"sorry, were only hiring PhD or higher"
>"can't do, you need at least 10 years or experience"
>couldn't land a job related to my field of expertise because this loop seems impossible to break
apply at unrelated entry level jobs
>go to interview for a couple of jobs
>actually got hired on both
>they were phony "companies" where my job was calling elderly persons to get them entangled into "suscriptions" that basically stole all their money
>refused on both cases to do that shit and got fired within 7 days each time
>haven't landed a job since then (3 years ago)
And the pandemic made everything worse.
At this point Im doing one-time jobs related to my field on private companies but I would like something more stable
Most of my classmates already landed jobs because they were friends with teachers, or blood related to someone that got them hired.
I wasn't anti-social on the university, I just focused on study and didn't whored/drank/party around.

It feels really bad because my job is not some esoteric bullshit, Im just an archivist with specialization on digital database management
When people hear that they say
>anon there's a fuckload of jobs for that
but actually most companies instead of hiring an actual archivist or librarian to manage their physical and digital documents, they just use the local IT guy or janitor to deal with that
It's retarded because I know a guy that doesn't even know how to Excel, but got hired into a high level database job because his sister worked there, and all he does is post shit on twitter all day
