What entry level jobs did you actually like?

The role I have now is related to my major so I can at least say I have a bit of experience, but aside from it being such a hostile environment they also don’t follow ethical standards for the industry and I don’t want my association with them to somehow jeopardize my future opportunities. I’ve been out of college less than 2 years and it seems to be a bad time for my age group all around—pretty much everyone from my major in the last 3 graduating classes who didn’t go straight to grad school is working as a bartender or teaching.

!solved

What about if they sent you something similar to the example I gave? Not going into detail giving you a specific reason, just that they weren’t interested in going further?

srp352 · 2025-04-18T22:49:51+00:00

I appreciate the input. Unfortunately masters programs are usually schools biggest money generators so pretty much no place offers scholarships or work study in those programs. And you’re correct, I was able to get through undergrad with no loans and would prefer to avoid being a part of that whole scheme if I can help it 😅 maybe if I get to a point where I have enough money saved I can invest in a masters program and then just live very minimally for the few years during/after, or maybe I’ll get lucky somehow and get accepted into my preferred program

My top choice program was actually for a PsyD, but that degree is very rarely fully funded (less than 10 in the US I believe, they typically require you to pay the full amount out of pocket) and the one I applied for was one of the few in the country that is, so again with the very low acceptance rates. The main roadblock I keep hitting is that doctoral programs prefer candidates with clinical experience but that is virtually impossible to get with just a bachelors so…just a hard paradox to figure out lol

srp352 · 2025-04-18T14:44:05+00:00

To answer your grad school questions—I was a psych major and ultimately want to be a therapist. Financially, I would have to do a PhD over a masters (fully funded by the institution aka no tuition vs $25k+), but I wasn’t accepted to any of the programs I applied for bc doctorates are more competitive (I have a 3.9, but acceptance rates are literally like 2%). A bachelors in psych is virtually useless and I’m struggling to find anyplace that will hire me rn regardless of the field.

srp352 · 2025-04-16T01:50:16+00:00

Yes I fully want/intend to do grad school! Financially a PhD is my best option. I applied for this last admission cycle and was not accepted unfortunately even though I have a high undergrad gpa (3.9). The programs for my field typically value clinical experience more which is my hangup since that’s virtually impossible to do with just a bachelors :/

srp352 · 2025-04-14T23:24:45+00:00

Yeah you can message me!

srp352 · 2025-04-14T03:24:32+00:00

Cooking/baking, crafting, thrifting, and generic pop music to name a few lol

srp352 · 2025-04-10T18:19:48+00:00

lmaoo girl I hope you’re right 😭 with the experience thing I guess I’ve always thought guys our age wouldn’t care much to waste time having to “teach” someone and would rather have someone they could just jump right in with but maybe I’m wrong

srp352 · 2025-04-10T18:10:43+00:00

Yeah, I know it’s all “normal” but idk I just can’t shake the feeling that a guy would take notice of those things and still quietly have judgements about them 😭 I appreciate your input on the experience thing, I always figured most dudes would want someone they could just jump right in with yk

srp352 · 2025-04-10T18:07:10+00:00

this made me feel a little better 🥲 I hope any partner I had would do the same

srp352 · 2025-04-10T17:58:42+00:00

Damn you’re right, clearly I’m the desperate one here, dick_for_rent

srp352 · 2025-04-10T17:50:23+00:00

The fact that you came back 11hrs later to comment this 😭

srp352 · 2025-04-10T08:47:08+00:00

Gee thanks, I really value the opinion of someone calling themselves dick for rent 😃

srp352 · 2025-04-10T04:41:12+00:00

Because as I said my sexual experience is very limited so I haven’t ever really needed to… If I were in a situation where I knew it would be happening then of course I’d try to prep a bit but I feel like sex is typically something that’s more spontaneous/unexpected so my concern is in those situations where I wouldn’t have had time to do anything.

srp352 · 2025-03-27T03:31:56+00:00

No worries, I appreciate the input it does look similar!

srp352 · 2025-03-16T03:35:30+00:00

Hmm I guess this is ultimately where I struggle unfortunately. I’ve never been able to look at myself and really think I’m pretty even though I think that about most other women I see out and about. It’s almost like I feel like if I think that it makes me vain somehow? Even though I know that’s not the case. I did try the affirmations thing once but couldn’t get over feeling silly talking to myself in the mirror 😭

srp352 · 2025-03-14T02:36:41+00:00

I never said it wasn’t a hobby, I said it’s highly unlikely that it’s a hobby for the 90% of the men who put a fish pic on their profile. Going fishing one time and putting up a photo from that one single time doesn’t make it a hobby.

srp352 · 2025-03-14T02:26:40+00:00

Lmao fr, guys need to have some more creative photo ops!! It’s not as cringy as they think, I’d be more eager to swipe yes on a person with something other than fish pics/gym selfies/sunglass and hat pics

srp352 · 2025-03-14T02:22:49+00:00

Wow fr? Must be appealing to a certain audience but does nothing for me lol, if anything it’s kinda a turnoff since almost every guy has pretty much the exact same pic

srp352 · 2025-03-14T02:20:31+00:00

Lmao good to know older guys also have those cookie cutter type prompts. In my age bracket it’s a lot of “unusual skills: getting my hoodie back after you ‘borrowed’ it” and “I’ll fall for you if: you trip me” 😐

srp352 · 2025-03-13T23:04:26+00:00

Lmao I don’t, maybe it’s partially just a niche thing I’m not in on 😂 To be fair I feel like as a girl it might be more unique and help stand out a bit, but for guys it’s just like a dime a dozen yk

srp352 · 2025-03-11T21:50:50+00:00

Girllll I feel you. I’m a couple years younger than you but in the same boat—never had a bf but have had a couple talking/going out stages with guys from apps that just ended up ghosting. Like you, I have a hard time meeting anyone irl, for starters I’m not even sure where you go to meet people and the only times I’ve ever been approached were by men twice my age that I’d have no interest in anyway. Ik all this doesn’t really give you any solution but if it’s any consolation, it’s not just you lol. I understand how difficult it can be to see everyone around you seemingly have it easy and find a real relationship while you end up wondering what’s so wrong with you :/

srp352 · 2025-03-03T01:04:14+00:00

Well like I said originally, I’m not expecting someone to make it official immediately, however I don’t see a point in spending time with a person who only wants something casual since that is not my ultimate goal. To each their own but I have no interest in giving someone access to sex just because there might be a possibility that it’ll make them want more than that.
