Anyone majorly stressing about university/finding a job?
Any college aged people on here? 23 years old. Business major. Is anyone else currently hardcore stressing out about finding internships, networking, going to career fairs, etc? How do you find the motivation to make yourself keep going? :/ I'm good with small talk, but I'm such a terrible and awkward interviewer...I let myself get discouraged about how people around me are so much more competitive and more qualified than me.
I also have this irrational fear that I won't be able to ever get a job after graduating because I don't have internships, relevant experience in my field etc.
Probably the oldest replying but.... No university but 3 apprenticeships and not able to get a job in the moment. Searching for 2 years already. Motivation is around zero percent and it isn't getting better with each rejection. reply
To all the people that replied, I'm gonna give you an advice...4 months I graduated from college, I was fricking stressed about getting a job...funny thing a week later I was called from the place where I did my internship, now I'm working there...how? I was overly stressed, my stomach made feel sick even, but I kept my composure and a poker face, ...... reply
YES OMG. i hate working fast food and i cant get any good job until i graduate. i wanted to work at a fashion boutique and you need to have diploma/ged just to sell clothing. plus i am kinda scared because my career choice is to be a plastic surgeon. but that's a LOT of money for medschool. so i decided on being a nutritionist. takes less time to g...... 2 reply
Aye Aye. 21 and desperate. Also totally broke and not really good or acomplished at anything. Also because I was hospitalized for a while I had to drop out of school. So life is just great. Good to know I'm not the only one with problems though. 1 reply
21 y.o. here. I think it's only natural to get stressed at this stage of our lives. We are still sorting out our thoughts, deciding what to do in the future and how to accomplish our goals... it's really common, so don't worry. I was so stressed when I had to choose my major, I can't even imagine how tough it will be when I will have to find a job....... 2 reply
Hell yes! Ugh, I'm 21 and graduate soon and I need to go to grad school/law school, but I just need a break T_T just being able to afford such a thing is kinda freakin me out. Unfortunately this break means taking a year or two to teach English, which is FINE. What is not fine is doing applications/ freaking out about time/visas, one of my biggest ...... reply
I'm about to graduate & right now I'm feeling completely unmotivated to even work on my senior project cause I'm worried I'm not gonna get to do what I want after graduation...
This is seriously a very difficult stage in life 'sigh' 1 reply
So.... I'm a bit younger than the people that have already replied (19 years old), but I'm a college student and I definitely feel the same way. I have this anxiety, not sure if social anxiety exactly but human interaction with strangers just terrifies me and I dread it. Unless it's friends or people that I get really well with. I've recently found...... 4 reply
Hello. I am just 17, probably youngest here, and next year is my last in college (in UK terms, not the US) and next year I should go on University but I still don't even know what I want to do at uni or which one. I have never been stressed about anything not even at times before exams, I was actually calming everyone else around me which made me...... 3 reply
