fucking help me based /lit/izens

I'm finishing uni and the story seems different for me. Job applications are a drag, having a CV is not enough, all companies want a cover letter and for you to complete their own inhouse data system with all the info in your CV, as well as answering questions like "Why do you want to work for us? (500 words max wink wink), "At MegaCorp we value ingenuity, tell us what ingenuity means to you, and give as example of you being ingenuos."

BITCH PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Im graduating top of my class but I can already feel how soul sucking the real world is going to be, if I even manage to land a job that is

>Past the flannel plains and blacktop graphs and skylines of canted rust, and past the tobacco-brown river overhung with weeping trees and coins of sunlight through them on the water downriver, to the place beyond the windbreak, where untilled fields simmer shrilly in the A.M. heat: shattercane, lambsquarter, cutgrass, saw brier, nutgrass, jimsonweed, wild mint, dandelion, foxtail, spinecabbage, goldenrod, creeping charlie, butterprint, nightshade, ragweed, wild oat, vetch, butcher grass, invaginate volunteer beans, all heads nodding in a soft morning breeze like a mother's hand on your cheek. An arrow of starlings fired from the windbreak's thatch. The glitter of dew that stays where it is and steams all day. A sunflower, four more, one bowed, and horses in the distance standing rigid as toys. All nodding. Electric sounds of insects at their business. Ale-colored sunshine and pale sky and whorls of cirrus so high they cast no shadow. Insects all business all the time. Quartz and chert and schist and chondrite iron scabs in granite. Very old land. Look around you. The horizon trembling, shapeless. We are all of us brothers.
