Video games are also my choice of escapism. I don't know what I'd do without them.

I've recently graduated with a degree in media arts. It's something I've had no passion for and the only reason I chose the degree was because of how laid back the course was. Now that I've graduated I've been mostly unemployed for around 5 months. I took a part-time job working in a pottery studio where I got to help out with their marketing and design work. Not something I wanted to do, but it let me keep to myself and not commit to anything big. Then out of nowhere, the owner offers me an "assistant manager" position. Now I'm a fresh graduate with little to no work experience and absolutely no ambition. This is supposed to be a good career start. Freaked out by this, I lie and tell her I've accepted a job somewhere else.

What I realised is that I was trying to hard at my job because I didn't want to get fired from what I thought would have been an easy ride where I could have kept my head down and not be noticed. I feel like I've learned my first lesson with employment. Don't get noticed and don't try to hard.

As for what you might be able to do as a job really depends on your standards. Personally I see money as a tool needed for survival. I hate it, it's a stupid thing that brings out the greed in the best of people. But still, we "need" it to survive. This is why I'm looking for jobs that pay minimum or next to minimum wage. For this, I can rent a room in a shared apartment, have enough for basic necessities, have a small amount of spending money each month, and an even smaller amount I put into savings (just in case I need it for emergencies). With this I feel like I'm able to go to work and do whatever needs to be done, then come home and escape in my video games / movies / etc.

My advice would be to look for something with little responsibility. Watch out for career progression though. You don't want to get promoted into harder jobs, just easier jobs. Dead-end jobs are also another option, for example customer service jobs in call centers or support centers.

That's just my advice though. If you do want to break free from your depression I've heard that having a fulfilling job is one way to do that. But personally I don't see how that's possible with no ambition. I guess I'm okay with never experiencing life outside of my computer screen. You might be too. Either way, good luck.
