As a therapist I want to encourage you to look into mental health support, I’m worried for you. There’s lots of low cost and free services you can look into if that’s what you need cost-wise. Take care of yourself, you’re gonna figure this out ✨

Engineering is no longer the way for a “guaranteed job” with this current market. That method got patched in 2022 lol

Yall should make parents submit resumes similar to your qualifications, see how many interviews/offers they get, maybe they will understand

Wanted to be a pilot, dad forced me into comp eng. I hated it, constantly on academic probation- changed majors w/o telling parents. I resent them for a wasted life, and hate my corp job. I’ll be 60 in Jul

I don’t think that they understand the REALLY BIG shift in our economy from when they came and now. Everything was so much cheaper and affordable back then. Our generation are working 2-3 jobs and still can’t afford to move out. It’s actually sad. I understand where you’re coming from my love. 💖

Please seek someone to support your mental health. Nothing and I mean nothing matters more than how you’re feeling.

They don’t understand that a person does not review the applications. They use tech to sort the resumes.

Also it’s normal for it to take 3 years after your bachelors to get a full time job

I grew up in the same household with helicopter parents. Very studious and took a long time to land that first job and I worked 2 jobs under undergrad. I took out student loans as well since my parents couldn't afford to pay for both my brother and I (2 tuitions)… they took care of our car insurances. Once you land that job and are able to financially take care of yourself - MOVE OUT. I did. And I barely called and visit. Only major holidays and celebrations for 5-10 yes after… and then they realized that they were hard on me since I rarely visit. Wishing the best for you, girly. It's discouraging right now, but once you are financially independent and on your own… it will be better! You'll be able to breathe! Please get mental

I WISH parents would realize the jobs and economy are way different than what they had at your age. Babe I hope you know you’re doing all you can and it is enough. It’s the poor job market and lack of positions as well. I hope a great opportunity comes your way soon 🫶🏾
