I am about to graduate with my Master’s degree in Liberal Studies. My parents gave me no direction and I feel like I’ll never find a job with this degree. I am worthless to society. I don’t want to drain the little resources my impoverished family has. I wish I could go back in time and major in mathematics, engineering, or biology. I am in so much debt and the college put a hold on my account so I can’t even get my transcript to apply to PhD programs. I tried to explain to the college that I need my transcripts in order to get a job so I can pay them back, but of course they have to say no. The system is rigged against me at every turn. I hate spoiled rich people. I wish I would just have the guts to jump off a bridge or buy a gun and shoot myself. I’m about to be evicted and I know I should look for work, but part of me just wants to sink to the bottom and die. If society sees it fit for me to be homeless and starving then so be it. I hate all the pressure. American Dream?!?! More like a nightmare! I tried applying to a store that sells pool cleaning supplies and they had denied me. How much education do I need before I qualify to be a retarded pool seller? I just want all the expectations to go away. I feel like everyone lied to me. “Go to college and you’ll make money”…Bullshit. I feel like killing myself out of spite. I keep imaging stabbing myself in the throat while making food and cutting my wrists in the bathtub. I am a human being, an animal, not a fucking robot. I can’t do your robotic cookie cutter jobs. You suck the life out of living and cast me into slavery. I wont be a slave.

“I am worthless to society”
It’s not your damn duty to be valuable to society after it tricked you into getting in debt stealing your best years from you. And don’t regret not going into STEM; it’s the new bubble. There are now far more STEM students than jobs waiting for them. You realize how many people are in the exact same boat as you? Don’t get down on yourself, get pissed off at the people responsible.
Thank you for your comment. I realize a ton of other people are in the same boat. I think the baby boomer generation really phoned it in on being parents. My parents were awful when they divorced. I turned to drugs and alcohol. After the divorce, my Mom turned into an alcoholic and my Dad has been diagnosed with severe depression and is on disability. A part of me thinks he fakes his depression so he can just be lazy and not be my father. He ran off to Florida. I am pissed off at my parents. I think they should never of brought me into this shitty world. I am constantly parenting my parents and doing damage control. The doctor had to induce my labor or I would have died. Sometimes I wish I did. Non-existence just seems so alluring. I don’t want to die. I just want the world to be radically different. I wish money didn’t exist. When I see myself through other people’s eyes I see a loser. I don’t really want a job. I just want people to accept me for who I am and not try to crush my soul and shape me into something I’m not. Maybe it is all in my mind. I am trying to quit alcohol. I quit smoking. The warm weather is nice. I guess I am mostly ashamed of how I think I look to other people. I am also scared of being homeless. If I am forced to live with my Mom then I will be mentally abused when she drinks. She is so vicious and then she tries to sweep it under the rug. I can’t go back there, I’d rather die. Well thanks for your reply. I’m sorry for dumping so much on you. I think society and the media need to change. It alienates me and makes me compare myself to these crazy ideals that are so difficult to attain and require luck, money, and connections I don’t have.
WTH. Replies won’t post.
i agree
