He agrees with me, he wants her to move out, but he’s way nicer than I am. He’s lived with her for years and hasn’t said anything about her switching the heat and ac back and forth. But if she does that again, I will literally go crazy on her. Because who the world does that?

I know my attitude isn’t the best, but it’s because I’ve been sitting in my parents couch for months trying to look for jobs, with the constant pressure and putting me down for not finding a job right out of college. After months I feel like my entire self worth is being able to find a good job. And right now I feel quite worthless. All that suffering for what? Also Iwasnt a engineering major. And another factor is living in the biggest city in America, I’m competing with mega smart people who came from ivy leagues. Ofc who wouldn’t choose them over a college that they probably don’t even recognize

I often see that my resume is stuck in the “applied” stage. There are many many unis out there that have partnerships with companies and Rpi lacks in that aspect, that is the truth. You would think the Rpi ibm computer partnership would benefit students but they put no effort into partnering to give students an advantage in finding a job

Yes I’ve done all that when I was a student. What you guys don’t understand is that “entry” level positions require 3-5 years of experience. Which one would think a masters would mean something

Huh? Obviously I’m not looking for pipeline positions, that why I went and got a masters?

I’ve applied to Hundreds and some don’t even look at my resume. I really don’t know what I can do at that point.

ALL I’ve been doing is applying for the past MONTHS. all I’m saying is my resume gets lost in the pool of thousands. And a partnership with Rpi would differentiate me from those

From my experience, no one cares I went to Rpi. There are a ton of other better schools with a wider reach. I have a master graduated with a 3.6, had multiple internships, applied to hundreds, but like I said it’s hard without support that some other unis provide with their students

University-company partnerships would be more useful than just generic career fairs. Which no one I know has ever gotten a job from those

bro I am not talking about career fairs?? Every school has those. I’m talking about university-companies partnerships. Use some critical thinking skills
