3.2 since my university fought grade inflation. Have my EIT license, did a bunch of extracurrciculars and projects with industry. Nobody else in my graduating class found work either.

That's just the first step. It's now time to fail finding employment for the next two years. After that, we'll move onto step three: thinking you can make it in academia.

This doesn't end well, by the way.

>> No.9829778

I'm 1.5 years after graduation.

Lots of vocations in industry are fake, they think it's ok to blatantly lie about what they want and expect, basically you should be grateful to be allowed to be their slave and bow down to their masterhood. Doesn't matter the companies are likely in debt or under heavy subsidiaries by the government (you think 500$ neetbucks is much? Try 50M$ in projectbucks from taxpayer money, free market my ass).

Holy shit anon it's almost like you're leaving a big heavily structured part of your life behind you and stepping out into uncertainty or something.
Why would that mess with someone?
For comparison, ask people how they feel after getting out of prison or the military. You find out that without people telling you what to do for so long you can get aimless, unnotivated, stressed, and depressed.

are you retarded? I study computer science at a mediocre uni (top 50 in the world) and I literally got 3 different offers from random people that work at large multinational companies, and I refused all of them, I also have 2 connections that could get me a job, and I could also get a job at the 2 companies I worked at, so in total I have about 7 different sure options right now, I'm lmao'ing at your life right now

I only had 2 internships, no extracurriculars, and they only want a 2:1 which is, I guess, the "average" in the UK

why is it so hard to get a job for you retards?

yes it's completely normal. it's because before graduation you had a feeling of purpose and direction in your life (write thesis and finish exams). it's not important how lame this purpose was, the point is it was there and now it isn't. it gets better soon.

>> No.9830303

>>9829754
bro, listen to me, I had to REFUSE 3 offers, I went to them, passed the interviews and REFUSED them, not only I have options, but I am in the position to REFUSE them

you wish you could refuse a company, fucking Kekkerino, you can't even get into a situation where you can refuse

it can be a meme in the sense that "I'm going to be an engineer because my parents think it's cool or because society respects engineers!"

I use meme to refer to that mental phenomenon where you think you make a logical, rational and mature decision, when in truth it's irrational, emotional and 90% of the "arguments" are fuelled by external, societal factors

please give me more tips, I can't solve it, I am stuck

no but really, if you study in the western world most unis in the big cities are in top 100, and it's really not difficult to get into them at all, if it is difficult or you don't give a shit so you don't study then you have no right to complain about unemployability as if you tried everything, no faggot, you did nothing, now suck it fuck it and gGTFO

Yes it can be, you maybe leaving an institution that you have dedicated (I am assuming) at least four years (depending weather you are leaving high school or college), that is a significant amount of time to spend in one place and that may lead to depression, thinking that you are leaving a place and people that you have known for four years and moving onto another new place.
