>>8140211>I'm doing a shitty degree with basically no job prospects.Ask yourself why you chose that degree, was it a topic you personally enjoy? is it a degree you were expected to take by others (family, friends, etc.)? Was it a degree recommended by peers/professors?
Do you have the option to switch to a different degree topic that might serve you better?
>I don't think I'm particularly smart.You're doing a degree, that already makes you pretty smart to even be in that position, it's not something just anyone can do, so unless it's a degree in something useless like lesbian dance theory or communist utopias, chances are you're probably smarter than you think.
>I'm brokeFind some work, doesn't have to be the best most high paying job in the world, just something that puts some money in your pocket and gets you out of the house on a daily basis while doing something that keeps you occupied with a new routine and preferably around different people.
>I constantly compare myself to my friends' successYou're not them, and they're not you, stop comparing and live your own life. Everyone has to make their own choices when it comes to adulting, what works for you might be very different than worked for your friends.
>Meanwhile, it feels like I'm stuck in the same placeSave your pennies wisely and then start looking for opportunities elsewhere outside of your comfort zone. Doesn't have to be on the other side of the world, could be somewhere three towns away, just as long as it gives you a change of scenery and a new perspective on life.
>it honestly feels like the only way I'd ever "make it" is if I wasn't here anymore.Given the rest of your post that's maybe understandable, but it's also complete bullshit. You're doing a degree which means you're capable of working hard AND using your brain (both important skills) at least when you're not wallowing in self-pity, so get out there and grab life with both hands while you still can.
