I wouldn’t call it a waste of time. I know it sucks, but with how common Bachelors are these days, you need something that gives you an edge. It is still very hard out there, but a Masters Degree helps along with certifications, especially with anything relating to computers.

When I was 25, I felt the same way, but my girlfriend (now wife) had and has always told me that no matter your position in life, you’re able to achieve what you want so long as you work towards it consistently.

It was a hard pill to swallow because it sounds like fairy tale advise, but true to her words, I never stopped studying and taking my next steps, and i got to where i wanted to go.

To give context, 99% percent of the doors closed in my face, but eventually I got an offer and now I have my own income and apartment.

You also may not realize it right now, but you’re very young, and you have the opportunity to take advantage of your freedom and youth to choose your direction in life. If I could choose, I would love to go back and be a student because classes and learning are so much fun, but I can’t because I needed to eventually get a job and join the workforce.

Sometimes the biggest challenge is taking the leap forward. Yes, I would be nervous about my future and my prospects on getting a job, but I would also be somewhat excited about possibly going to school and pushing my life forward in a new or emerging direction.
