I passed university with a good degree in creative digital media in 2009. I am 34 years of age. My friends own houses and very good jobs now.
I am friends with them on facebook but because I am feeling low at the moment, I am not in contact any more. Well I have nothing to share there. They are traveling with there wives .
Which i don't blame them because life is there to be enjoyed.
That what I thought I was going to do after university after working so hard. This year after university I worked on a scheme graduates for business which was a contract work. So at the end I was made unemployed.
I am ugly so I try to make the best to keep body in good shape. I cant help that though.
My low self esteem is for good reasons.
1. I passed with a good degree
2. But this not is not good enough to getting a job though as I have applied for several and only being told work is not good enough.
To improve my skills in web language means more study which i have already sacrificed my social life for 7 years in learning. Without money can't have a social life
3. My option is to work in retail as a shop assistant
I may seem like I have a negative attitude at this moment in time. After working hard I thought I'd get the rewards but i didn't.
Thank you for taking your time to read
Is Your Future Really Finished by: FM
Hi Jonny,
The rewards for your sacrifice in spending time getting an education and learning is getting your degree.
Just because you have not experienced further success in life does not mean that your future is gone. Being rejected is normal. But you can improve your chances of succeeding by expecting good things to happen, using the rejections as feedback, learning from them and maintaining a positive attitude.
If at the moment you can't secure a job that matches your degree, take up any other job first, even if it means taking up a job as a retail assistant.
I did that once when I lost my job. I took a job that paid me a quarter of what I previously earned. I learned several things from the job and the experience.
Try not to assume that your future is gone. The future is over and done with only when we die. As long as we are alive, we can do something to make life worth living.
