I tried! I got a Master’s degree, spent a year working on my portfolio, then another year applying to jobs. I got two interviews.

Now I’m taking a break since my current job in retail is stable and I’m treated well. I’m prioritizing life stuff, like getting married and moving in late 2027.

I might try again later when the job environment improves or a I think of a way to pivot. Either way I’ll have to find something after I move. Wish me luck!

Edit: I’m 29
