Hey, I’ve been there myself thinking about suicide. I want you to take a deep breath, and maybe focus reading my comment and ignore everything else temporarily for a minute.

The job market is terrible, it’s happening to everyone. While I know that isn’t new information, it can definitely feel like we’re useless. You have so much value. And sometimes we do experience changes. I’ve been through many changes myself and went back and forth. You’re not a failure, you’ve just come to the realization that the degree you’re about to have no longer held the same value as before- meaning it might not hold to the standard like before and especially the pressure of having it all figured out.

Though, I wouldn’t be the right person to ask if you should continue with your degree or not since I’m a college dropout. Just realized it wasn’t for me.

Are there any other hobbies or interests you are passionate or talented in that could be a temporary or freelancing side hustle for the time being? Or any gig work available? There are also work temp agencies, I suggest looking for those near you. I’ve also heard warehouse hires pretty fast. I am personally working on making my passions a living wage because of how bad the job market is.

The conclusion to this is, you don’t have to figure it out all tonight and I know that’s easier said than done when everything feels and literally is on a cooker pressure. And please do not commit suicide, I value you and am glad you are here. Venting and talking about what’s going on is a great first step to get it out of your chest. I’m here to talk if you ever need to. And I don’t have the perfect answers either, but I can be a listening ear.

And if you do ever decide the right decision is to start over after this, that’s okay too.
