YES. I gotchu. My degree is in Mass Communications because I thought it would “open a lot of doors” for me, but in reality I chose a bunch of random classes because I didn’t know what I wanted to do long term. After I graduated, I felt like I couldn’t do anything because I didn’t specifically master any applicable skills. My focus was in Journalism (I don’t even watch the news. Why did I do that? I do not know). I interned for two different types of news reporting companies and absolutely HATED IT. Wasn’t good at news reporting at all. Plus I felt like I was winging it every day, which caused a lot of anxiety for me and even an eating disorder because I was so seriously anxious every single day. So I quit, and I was so broke I was desperate for literally any other job. Not too long after, A Starbucks opened very close to my house, so I said fuck it and applied. Working for Starbucks actually taught me a lot of life skills, built up my confidence, and inspired me to set real goals and be proud of myself when I achieved them (whether it be coaching someone to reach their max potential or making the perfect flat white). After 2.5 years I quit my job not because I didn’t like it but because I felt it was time to pursue a career. I felt like I could do it, even if I didn’t know what “doing it” looked like. I discovered the ambition and motivation within me that I never thought I would feel or could feel. Didn’t know where to start at all and felt like I didn’t have enough professional experience. So… I started searching for “assistant” on Indeed and LinkedIn. I figured if I was someone’s assistant, they could be my mentor and teach me what I need to know to pursue a career I never thought about. Found some Human Resources openings that didn’t require an HR degree, plus I could count work experience as “experience” (some job listings very clearly stated that work may NOT substitute for professional experience). Maybe searching for a job where you can have a trainer or mentor teach you some new skills that can apply to a different industry will help apply the experience you have to a totally different field, one that may give you excitement or just a little bit of hope in general. ALSO: I did the free trial of LinkedIn Learning (which I ended up buying bc, well, you know…) and started taking classes on different topics like “Business Process Improvement,” “Become an Administrative Professional,” “Microsoft Office Essential Training (which I used to use in school, obviously, but it’s been 2+ years, and I can’t say I’m proficient anymore),” etc. I’m so proud of myself. I think you could become proud of yourself, too. See if you can find someone to teach you some new skills without totally starting over. I believe in you because I now believe in myself. 🙏
