whether i ctb or not, my life is (almost) over

[faraway_sayu]

halfway through my second last semester of my completely fucking useless degree and i am realising that whether i die or not, my life is still over. i've wasted almost 4 years of my life, gone tens of thousands of dollars in debt for NOTHING. i cannot get a job with this degree post graduating at the end of this year, nor have i done well enough to pursue post-grad study and ykw THANK GOD because i fucking hated university. it seems i'll be stuck in soul-sucking casual retail for the rest of my life. i'm not even exaggerating, so many people i know are in exactly the same position i am.

there is a large possibility i fail 2 out of the 3 units i'm taking this semester, which will just prolong the time i have to spent at uni and make my GPA even worse than it already is. because i'm so close to graduating i feel like it's too late to drop out, but actually reaching the end of even this semester is starting to feel impossible. i may as well just top myself now, because i'll probably have to when i graduate anyway. as useless as this degree has been, at least i was doing something and appeared normal to my parents and society. once it's over i am completely screwed. although i'm kinda screwed now too. yippeee :)

I feel you, I went to uni and it was a complete waste of time. Society funnels into thinking 'get a degree and you'll get a good job' but the reality is so many graduates end up doing jobs they could have done without a degree any way. Employers always prioritise experience over qualifications, but how are you meant to get experience if no one e gives you a chance. AI is taking a lot of entry level jobs in many fields too, it's just a shit show!

What degree are you doing out of interest?

i get that. while the degrees are maybe worthless.

having them on your CV is so much better then not having them at all.
i would try to commit and try to salvage to try to get a good grade this year what ever the cost.


finish the degree basicly show you have basic knowledge and accceptable sense.

if you have nothing you be treated like a brainless idiot and only after working with them they will see who you are.
its not helping jobs

but im from EU i dont know how other country job system works exactly.

I'm so far removed from my education years I have no idea what could be done with that qualification other than going into teaching it yourself at a higher education level if that is something you want to do. But I could be completely wrong and it could open a few doors for you. Military/civil service often don't care what your degree is in, just that you have one so those could be an option for you?
