Hi,
I'm a 22 year old who is studying part time for my
degree at unisim and is currently unemployed.
My last contract job ended in March and I found
another job through an agent that is totally unrelated to my field
of interest during May and took it up plainly for the sake of money
but only lasted for 2 weeks as I realised it was a poor-job fit and
the working environment was toxic so I left.
I have tried applying over 100 jobs (no kidding)
since then & managed to only secure 3 interviews but none of
which offered me a job, so just like any other normal human being
(with multiple issues to handle at that time), I started doubting
my value, self-worth and my self esteem and confidence started
taking a dip.
Right now, it’s nearly a month and I feel the
desperation and confusion whether I should continue applying and
waiting for a job that is related to my field of studies or to just
grab any office hour job just for the sake of
money?
My concern is if i'm doing something related, I
could continue working there even after getting my degree and opt
for a higher pay. However if I chose to grab some other unrelated
job, I would have to start from scratch after getting my degree and
temp jobs would be disruptive for my studies if I have to
continuously source for new jobs over and over again. But I’m
growing impatient!
Also, I am actually questioning myself constantly
the past few months if I've made the right decision to take on part
time studies and this 4 years course considering the fact that I'm
already 22 and hopefully if everything goes smoothly, graduate by
26. I don’t wanna be starting from scratch when I’m at that age, it
scares me to know I don’t have a secure and stable job by
then?
Appreciate constructive advice/opinions, thanks!
