I have a PhD in Physics and haven’t had a full time job in 2 years. Literal high school zoomers are managers now earning $100k more than me. Fucking hate my existence. I don’t deserve my credentials yet I am permanently scarred by its association. How do I reset my life other than kms?

Just say you went to school for those years (which is true) but leave off the PhD so it looks like you just failed to finish the degree. Entry levels jobs won't even give a fuck, they will just be happy you aren't a convict.

I just got the very definition of a wageslave job. This after spending all my savings on a collage degree which so far has been proven worthless. Gonna try to get an actual degree while simultaneously wagecucking, so basically either work or study every single day. If dubs I will end up dying from a heart attack.

Have you tried emailing places you'd like to work at to see if you can get work from them, free or not? I had a friend who did this after graduating (with a B.S.) and taking a half of year off to sleep. He asked to volunteer at a Plasma physics lab, and upon meeting the director.

Start by reading Miles Mathis. His physics papers that is, not his conspiracy theories. Then write your own atomic modelling software and sell it directly to industry or use it along with ML to discover a patent.
