>>22011447>>22011448>>22011450>>22011457>>22011466Have been in a similar way and suffered all the mistakes along the way, here is the best condensed version withholding your personal position (family, finance, goals and dreams, etc...)
>find something you can do for money>not just a field or ambitious field of study>trace back the academic/legal requirements to do it>Go to community college>get a paid internship/job in field>network field>transfer to 4 year>get a better internship/job in field>network academia>get MANY letters of recommendation >network relevant workshops and clubs >Apply to grad school, (don't need to go, just at least the illusion of goals and that you can do better)>Apply early 'recent graduate' jobs on Handshake>Graduate with job and useful circle of influence Believe me anon, listen to me anon, this applies to any degree --- It does not matter how sure you are, I went from engineering to law in undergrad and it was all the same shit community college to top 25; when people say its who you know, the caveat is how you know them and how they know you
It may sound like I'm pleading with you, I am, don't fuck up and be like where you think intelligence and effort will be rewarded
>noyou need to communicate and network to an annoying degree, if you think your pestering to much, your almost there, talk and keep a record, take pictures and post to a LinkedIn + current hot social media platform, all the gay shit is all hiring managers see, even if your going independent then it your would-be partners, the pain of this is nothing compared to being underemployed
I post here because of my mistakes, I am pushing to make it out now a man, prevent years pain and learn from me anons
>TLDRIn the words of my mother I ignored to be a lonely faggot in college
>in the end, they are hiring someone to work alongside 40 hours a week for years, who wants to spend it with an aimless bum?
