job market gripes 

so like... i got lied to, right? i was told that getting a college degree in tech would give me lots of high paying job opportunities, but every single job app i send in gets rejected, even with strong recommendations from colleagues. so that was a lie, right?

@typhlosion yeah, actually. it would seem so

@typhlosion It was absolutely a lie.

I suffer from that exact same lie.

@typhlosion yuppp uni/college is totally a lie for most people it seems, the world has changed and the "advice" (social pressure) hasn't caught up with reality

@typhlosion i gotta wonder if i would've finished high school if every adult in my life hadn't told me my programming talent would permanently keep me out of employment troubles
