I’m 25, I literally have a masters in English (I know everyone is gonna say “why did you do that”) but I hoped to get jobs in publishing or grant writing, SOMETHING, but literally can’t find a job. I’ve even applied to internships and volunteer work but that doesn’t help because they want 5+ years of experience too. I makes me feel so hopeless and depressed because I want a career and a life that’s my own.

not to mention ai is eating up those entry level jobs because its cheaper to make ai do it than a person

i’ve always dreamt of having a family but i just don’t think that’s going to be achievable/ideal at this point. i’m almost 26 with no end in sight to living at home, even despite having a partner of almost 6 years. we are stuck and i feel like my potential for so many things in life is being wasted. i got good grades, have a bachelors degree and have saved up some money. i’ve done everything right, and it’s gotten me literally nowhere, never mind the fact that there is little to no hope

I graduated at 22 from what many consider to be a prestigious college. I was then unemployed fot a year, applying to jobs both within my career field and just basic retail/customer service jobs. it took me a full year with a bachelor's degree to get a job at a theme park, where i work with recent high school graduates. I did move out of my family's home this year, but only because my mother still helps me cover half my rent. I am so desperate for the entry level career I was told I would have by going to college

I’m 29 and have been at my fortune 100 company for 5 years. I can barely afford a 1bed apartment for myself

I’m 24, masters degree, but can’t get a job in my field. I don’t live with my parents, but I rent a room in a house with 4 strangers. I make £30k ($40k I think). Feel like a fat failure

Here’s another problem. I’m 51, retired from the largest telecom in the country at 49 with 30 years. That was a job that paid $100K base+ overtime, without a college degree. So when I retired, they didn’t fill my job. That good middle class, no college job is gone forever. THAT is the real issue now.

Finding Subtext :
I’m 26 and have gone through two different industries and went to college yet have nothing to show for it. Everything is getting replaced by AI or gate-kept so I can only hope to have a life when I’m 35+

When rent for a 700sqft apartment isn’t $1600 I’ll consider moving out

It’s only going to get worse because many white collar entry level jobs are being replaced by AI

autumn 𓇼 ⋆.˚ :
It’s really hard being an adult living at my parents. I can’t really make friends or go out, and I live so far from everything. But I at least have an entry level job….

Jamal C.🔻 :
I'm 27 and finally moved out but have to live with 5 roommates. I'm at the point in my life where the only goal in my life is being able to afford living on my own. I knew years ago that I would never have my own kids and at this point my only retirement goal is afford a house. Marriage or other traditional societal milestones just are too expensive or actively harmful to my community and myself. I just want somewhere I fan live and settle into longer than a few years

The culture :
I’m 24, basically doing someone else’s job for half the pay, have gotten employee of the year 3 times in 5 years, and I’m still in undergrad full time. I’m still only making 21k a year. I’m genuinely losing my mind.

I’m 25 and moved out at 22 but only bc I have a partner to split rent with. Out of my friends, only a few don’t live at home and either have a ton of roommates, a partner to split a small studio with, grad school student housing, or wealthy parents who help with rent. No one is fully doing it on their own comfortably

Magic :
I’m 23. My brother turns 21 in December. He lives in a college apartment, and will likely move into a normal apartment quickly after college. I live with our parents, and will continue to live with them until I graduate and find a job. Which is going to be impossible because every job in my major in my area requires experience.

I lived with my parents till I was 25 to save money. Then covid happen and it’s all gone. I support people staying at home to save money, buts it’s hard to gauge how much and how long to do it

Coming Up Short by Jennifer Silva is a really interesting sociology study that clocked a lot of these issues way earlier than other researchers! She basically investigated in 2006-2008 how US working class adults defined adulthood and it’s a WILD read to see the seeds of so much of the growing inequality and then the emotional impact of that and beginning political polarization

I tried living alone last year and almost completely drained my savings because my first job wasn’t enough to cover anything over than rent and I was living in a semi-rural area with no other jobs
