I’m an unemployed dad and husband. Many who read this will likely react with advice that nobody’s gonna help me, I have to help myself, and that I’m a whiner, etc., etc. I know this. Nobody cares about me, my family nothing. I don’t go to bed worrying about others. Why should they?
My kids hate me. My wife hates me. I have relationships with neither. My community treats me like a leper. People who interview me cannot get past my splotchy work record. They don’t know how much they need help and how much I can help them.
I have graduate degrees from top prestigious universities.
But in the end it’s me who’s unemployed. I’m the one who sucks. I’m the one who drove my family to financial ruin. I need to die and rid this world of another useless appendage.
I am willing to do lots of jobs. Nobody’s willing to give me a chance. FML.

Try to lie on your resume or at least lie by ommission by not including your previous work experiences that you know will give you a bad name if you’re worried about background checks. You’re right, no one’s going to help you and if that’s the case, don’t play their game. If you desperately want a job, then make up a new image in your resume. If the job entails more labor intensive work and doesn’t need college graduates, don’t include your university record. If it does, then include it. Enployers are adamant about hiring graduates wheb they are over qualified. Be flexible and stop worrying about it.
What do you have degrees in?
If you don’t want to lie or omitt anything, try husbandry, or if anything stay in contact I want to start a farm or something of the sort, and maybe it won’t be a high pay job, but fuck it. At least it’ll be income to provide for basic necessities.
im in the same boat as you. im dying for the sake of not bein able to find work and money problems. ive givin it plenty of months for my situation to change but theres no glimmer of hope. if we werent parents with kids depending on us, it wouldnt be that hard to deal with. but its kinda hard to take care of a family when no1 wants you to work for em and give u the income u need to clothe, feed an keep a roof over your families head. we feel like failures and thats the worst feeling ever. like y am i not good enough for that job? what am i doing wrong? out of the 2 of us i think you have a better chance at changing things around. def head to your workforce center for extra help on job seeking. id go, but i have a disabled son who requires alot of my time and i cant even do a w2 program because of having to report to schools and therapies because no1 knows how to handle an autistic 6yrold apparently.
