/biz/ - Business & Finance

As long as it doesn't go below 2 cents I'll live.

I bought 100 of GNUS @ 3
Am I retarded?

How badly did I fuck up my life, /biz/?

>Decided to study communications and journalism in college
>Graduate with honors with a bunch of awards
>Find a job at decent-sized newspaper shortly after college
>Work there for five years and earn some more awards
>Things go to shit when a bunch of people quit and they hire a hot-shot, new Editor-in-Chief
>Get a job offer to run a local radio station's news program
>They treat me like shit and try to get me to work double shifts without pay (but tell me to flub my card so it looks like I'm only working a single shift)
>Hair starts to fall out
>Develop a sleep disorder
>Health declines
>Doctor and family beg me to quit
>Get frustrated and quit
>Assume that I'll find something quickly due to strong resume and references
>Find out that I'm very wrong

It's been two months and, not only have I burned through all of my savings, but I've only received one offer despite putting out dozens of applications and resumes.

The only thing I've been offered is a part-time cashier position at a local pet store.

I had to take it just so I can attempt to pay my bills.

I also had to sign up for government assistance so I wouldn't fucking die of starvation.

I'm fucked, aren't I, /biz/?

Anyone else in a similar situation? I just want to know that I'm not alone in Hell.
