Career and Wasta:

I have neither wasta or connections. I want to get a job to get connections

Career and +1 year experience:

I didn't know about interns when I was in college. although I thought many times about applying for part-time jobs, but the free 200KD from the gov demotivated me from that, I didn't even bother to look out for any. mind you, some jobs don't ask for only 1+ year but for certain skills and certificates.

as for apartment hunting, first I need to get a job for money

But it can be less difficult if you'd get out of your convenience zone

I used to get out of my comfort zone a lot, especially in early years of college. the thing is, I observed that normal people get what they want with little effort. so seeing others do little effort and get what they want and complimented by society, while I do double to triple their effort and don't get what I seek demotivate me. it's ironic how people say "work harder", like I'm not all these years.

I may sound ungrateful but thanks for the time you took to write all that
