Dude, to a certain degree I feel yer pain because the job market isn't what it once was, but this is 100% your fault

I know kids who got degrees in bullshit majors but found fine ass jobs nonetheless. Biochem? You're not looking hard enough. Every major American city has a major college where they need research buttboys.

Guess what? Your qualified! Poke around, find a city you like, reach out to the department secretary with a resume/cv/super eager cover letter, and the next opening is yours. Turn 2=3 lab experience into a 100k+ job down the goddamn line.

Bro, I had to compete with 300 other people for my internship last summer and that's just people who got the interview for the internship. I got on but only because my brother already worked at the firm. I don't get why people on here act like shit is so easy, I worked my ass off and still had to use a connection to get an internship.

College is piss easy these days and any retard can go and do well which causes internships to be flooded with applicants.

You're on /biz/ where neets pretend they are all making a million a year and are experts on everything. You need to multiply your actual income by 10 or you won't be impressing any of the successful millionaires on biz. I mean come on, all the successful people who spend all of their free time on /biz/, instead of working or socializing, obviously aren't going to find 50 grand to be anything impressive m8.

No I didn't.

That's after 2 years of schooling, no other degree path or co-op offers more than that unless you get really lucky with the 2 or 3 super specific co-ops that make you move up north. I make literally more than anyone in any of my classes. The difference between me and trash men is I have a fucking future, 5 years from now they will still be throwing trash in a truck but i'll be moving up in a career and making more money.

BC. Same thing. 90% of internships and co-ops dont pay more than 15$ an hour starting. You can get a few engineering ones for 20-25 but have fun working in bumfuck nowhere with a bunch of drug addicts. Canada isn't that bad for jobs, the people who complain are fucking losers with no skills and complain they need to apply themselves and that's why they are content making 20$ an hour as a garbage man for the rest of there life.
