22 y/o kissless virgin that is about to graduate college with no internship/job experience.. I fell for the meme name brand of my school and parents paid a hefty price.
Not happy with my life at all anons and I basically worked my ass off for a useless STEM degree with no returns..
Not really looking for advice but just how to cope and similar stories. Not happy with my life at all as expected and I enjoy nothing anymore.

How many girls have you asked on date? You are man. Men ask women on dates or they die alone. Try dancing lessons. After every class you ask your partner if she is up to something and then you invite her for a food or drink.
See ya!
I thought I was in the same boat as you but got a decent job. Now I'm applying to jobs with 100k salaries although I doubt I will actually get that much yet.

Good god, that's a great way of getting kicked out. You're on the right track but homies gotta develop some rapport abs shit with the group first, let them know he's not a creeper or weirdo (he is, but he can act like he's not)
thank you finally someone said this... it doesnt matter who tf you are if you just randomly walk up to people you are bound to have that creeper stereotype...I swear it gotta be these prankster youtubers that romanticize this fake ass bullshit of walking up to random girls and working
thing is i went to a notoriously stressful shit school and best case scenario is I get a fucking entry govt job that pays as if I went to a d tier school
People with less qualifications have done way more
So its your problem bitch
It can work if you're having the right vibes; but as advice for people who struggle with the shit goes, it's pure cancer obviously.
I think that is OP's point tho, he/she is trying to point out the misery in their life of being overqualified and getting nothing
And that gets him nowhere.
Take some action and get what you want. Nothing is handed to you in life. Except your tendies.
you have to be autistic... idky you're on Jow Forums
This place is mostly filled with sulking losers who use this board to vent
Christ its like the same thread every day.
The whole STEM meme was real.
I just got my Degree in Physics today
stem majors are awkward fags
>how to cope with being in a better position than most 22 year olds
Are you high OP?
some people just cant see their life blessings unfortunately...that first world problem meme may be for normies but OP is an obv paragon of it
heyyy same here OP!
I do have some debt I eventually have to pay off but I'm just NEET'ing it up right now, but I also have a degree in a STEM field (computer science). Didn't do any internships cause I'm a socially awkward loser and was more interested in making music and reading manga.
Now I think I'm gonna take a couple of months to see if I can't make my music into a career, or at least explore some other career fields than slaving away at a code monkey desk job in the silicon valley. Just thinking about the culture that surrounds this field makes my stomach churn.
It's funny, cause in a way what was good advice for most normalfags was actually pretty detrimental to me. I legitimately enjoyed a lot of my general education classes and would probably have had a more fun and productive time in college pursuing some sort of social studies or history or political science degree. At least in those degrees I might have been forced to socialize more than in my fucking computer science courses. I chose STEM because I'm not a brainlette and could actually handle the courses, so I figured the pay at the end would be a good motivator for me to learn to enjoy programming more but nope, I've gotten as far as phone interview with no experience so far and realized that this may not be the field for me. I might still get a programming job, I might not, but I wish I had explored some other career options before I decided this shit back in high school.
What did you major in?
I graduated last year and have been living on savings from a few scholarships I had, but that won't last more than 2 months now. I hate my life with a passion I cannot even put into words. I've been coping by now pursuing everything I dropped when entering college but since that's no sustainable life style I'll start looking for a shit tier job next month that I might hate just enough to actually kill myself.
You want my honest advice user? Stop your fucking moaning and whining, buckle down, finish your last semester, study for the DAT and go to dental school.
thanks this was an interesting read, really wish I knew wtf i was gonna do coming out of HS and not just chasing the uni's brand name
Mathematics with econ concentration + Data Sci
I know what you mean I hate my life as well and wish I just focused on sports, chasing girls, building my physique my whole life instead of academics early on. It's such a pain in the fucking ass
The most successful people I know dropped of college and started working early. So get a job, any job and then you can move up.
Regarding whores, if you get money, they will come.
I don't know any successful college dropouts. Why is your anecdotal evidence more worthy than mine?
My dude,you cope by not being so hard on yourself and trying to fix the actual issue. You're giving up too early. Looking at your choice of degree I'd feel like you could at least turn it into something.
You can still get internships if I'm not mistaken?
If that still doesn't work I'd think you'd do well to get an associates or second degree in something with a better job market, but something that still pairs well with what you went to school for. 22 is still pretty young.
If you don't want to start over then work towards some sort of desk job, maybe entry level IT and work from there. See what you can do with your degree to get better positions within the company. Worst case scenario if you can only find minimum wage jobs then go for it, but just for a year. After that point start applying to better places, selling your studiousness and degree and then basic working experience.
There are worse situations to be in. People graduating much later than you with less clout to their qualifications, or more debt. Let yourself be proud of what you have for a few seconds and move forward. If you adopt a defeatist attitude this early in your life it will only screw you over in the long run, making potential outcomes worse.
