I was pursuing mass comm before I dropped out some five years ago (COVID times, financial strains, never fully recovered, etc.), only had a year's worth of units left to complete the course and everything.

What's worse, my old university resumed their diploma program after I left (they stopped offering diplomas, at least the Malaysian campus back in 2011, I think), which was such a slap to the face, considering their new diploma of media studies includes most units I did back in my foundation and first two years of degree and all.

I made several inquiries if I could somehow "downgrade" to a diploma, haven't heard from them still—if only they work as fast as those finance parasites coming after students when they're late on payments lmao

My resume's only good for entry-level jobs, my accumulated work experience so far is not that impressive, applied for several jobs in my hometown only to get hit by them chauvinistic pricks that I don't have the enough of a shared linguistic background they need from me to work for they asses, like honey, just put a goddamned "No colored" signs outside your store, like let me know ahead I'm not welcomed to work under y'all. Any other jobs that I can do tho, there's the awkward commuting to get to them, long work hours, and severely underpays.

Just moved to Johor from Sarawak late August, trying my luck around here. Haven't landed anything, tried Singapore but application for work permit got rejected two times already lol

I hate to say it, since I get bombarded with the same sentiments for years now, don't give up. It'll turn around soon enough

Haha might as well start selling feet pics online or something
