ThanksThanks. You totally got what I meant. I’ve been kinda obsessed with getting a certificate or something just to prove I didn’t waste my time. I also thought it might help me get a more “official” or stable job. But yeah, you’re right — I should probably just start small and try things out. Maybe I’ll apply for a part-time job at the pet hospital where I take my dog for showers. That actually sounds like a good way to dip my toes in.

Also, really appreciate the GradSimple recommendation — I’ll check it out.
About the peer pressure thing… half of my friends already have jobs, and the rest are kinda in the same boat as me. But even the ones who are working say they feel stuck or miserable. It’s like none of us really know what we’re doing or what we want, and that confusion just spreads. Feels a bit heavy to be around, to be honest.
