hey everybody,

i don't know why i keep taking on life altering obstacles but i do! i am currently finishing the last of my courses in my honours psychology BA, all i have left to complete is my thesis next year. i am also a social service worker that has the hardest time finding a job in this industry. i have attended like 8 mental health workshops and have a few years experience on my resume. But otherwise, I am still considered a new grad. it feels like crisis and it sucks. i am needing to vent, and being honest, i am fishing for some support. no one in my life really gets it. they are all like, "great, good job!" without any idea of how much work i have really put in for a piece of paper and a big question mark as to what happens next. i just wanna scream, and then mope in bed all day.

    I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time. It's crappy to work so hard and not be able to get a job in your field. The economy is crappy and it's very hard to find a job right now. I'd say just keep trying and try not to get discouraged although I know that's hard. (((loathesome)))

    Dont lose heart! I have several friends in the Social Service industry and all of them are having the same issue right now. It can only get better - maybe there hasnt been the perfect job out there for you yet. It will come!
