That's a fat man.

Apply in places that are the hubs for your degree.

Start applying in other countries.

If you're American apply all over the country.

If you're european do the same except try Ireland and Netherland too.

They have lots of jobs. Try germany.

Don't be afraid to move to where the job is

Hey faggot I was you back in 08 so heed my advice.
If you stay put you will get a shitjob in 10 months like I did then you start at bottom and apply for other jobs. 2020 now at 6 figures - started at 10.50 an hr.
Better strategy move to a retard state like North Carolina and use your BA/BS to get an entry level manger job. Then apply for new positions every 6 months. Long hard road but you can hustle if your smart if your dumb you're fucked. Peace out faggot

Check um. Most of these places give you meals and room/board, but I'm serious about you working for 12 hours a day doing something monotonous as cleaning fish to be put in cans. Take that 15k and put it towards never having to wage slave again.

you're fucked for life pretty much. once the corona settles, everyone will see you're a lazy piece of shit liability because you have a gap on your resume after graduation.

just accept a minimum wage job at mcdonalds or walmart and pray that your meme degree helps you move up into a $50k salary manager position.
