inb4 sorry for blogpost

I'm a 21 year old guy from Europoor, I learned a pretty good job and worked for 2 years until they suddenly fired me without any reason. Now I'm jobless for a whole year and couldn't find a job in the field I learned (I tried really hard to get one).

Now I got an offer for 23k for a really shitty job that I don't want at all but I have to take it because otherwise I won't get money anymore.

I can't find any other job that is not total shit and also can't move away because of my family and girlfriend and I'm slowly running out of savings.

What would you do in my situation? Just take the shit job and hope I can find a job in the field I learned in one year? I'm also really good in programming so I could do something online but I don't know where to start. I'm so depressed at my situation and even thinking about suicide.

Sorry for my bad English.

Hey, bro.
I'd definitely get the job. All kneepad jokes aside, any source of income is better than nothing in your current situation. Hold on to that job for as long as you need to. Maybe try to do some freelance programming, that may get you some extra dosh. May I ask which was your field?

Don't think about killing yourself, mate. I know this sounds like the usual bullshit, but I'm sure you'd make your family and gf very sad. Now that you're down, seek to climb up again.

Not sure if you're still around, OP. I respect your decision, I really do. But it seems like not finding a job that's suitable for you does take a toll on your mind. I would consider moving to the city if I were you. You can spend your weekends back in your town.

But I wouldn't be happy with it. I'm already depressed not seeing family/gf when they are at their work. Yes I'm that emotional piece of shit.

It's more like a question if I should take the job and wait for a better maybe or flip it all over and do a completely other thing eg learning a new job or do full retard online freelancer but I don't really know how to start that.

Taking a shitty job doesn't mean you have to stop looking for a better one. Also, if you really sent out a lot of applications and never got any positive feedback you really need to work on your game. Make your CV look professional (not something you can do with Microsoft Word), write a well-worded application and be confident during the job-interview. When you actually have a job it is much easier to be confident during the interview as you know you don't really depend on it, so fucking take it.
