I seriously can't do this anymore. I'm about to lose my mind.

But the job market is unfavorable for me. Should I just keep trying and hope or move without a job lined up?
Look for a job like a job. It will be much easier tho to interview and such if you are in the vicinity of where you plan on living. But you can do a lot with careerbuilder, indeed, monster searches and you can use Skype for the interview. Tell them you will relo yourself if they won't do it.

I make similar to a teacher lol and my friends are making or kissing right at 50k. Was your job not the greatest because of pay or was it a 3PL or just a **** job lol? I hate to say but we didn't get some cozy 50k corporate office job at Deloitte or something because we aren't white lol. I have frat brothers and friends that got hired at places like Fedex with the same gpa and no internship experience. The whole business structure is literally set up for privileged White Americans. I realized if I kept at this industry I was always going to be behind my peers when my drug dealing friend got 50k job at a corporation. It literally struck my ego, but there's nothing I can do about it. He has the same coding experience as me that was on my resume and this mofo got actually got hired. That's why I'm switching fields to IT or something more data analytical based. I actually am doing some coding at my job, so hopefully this helps lol. Hopefully you have a great job making 80k and this proves me wrong:)
This just jumped out at me, structure setup for privileged white Americans? Do you realize how many fkin office/tech jobs are outsourced to Indians and Paki's lol.

I see tons of colored folks in corporate offices and buildings and businesses...alot of black Americans, Africans, latin people etc. Of course lots of white folks too but bro unless your name is fkin abdi mohammed al jazeera you cant blame the **** on race. IDK bro sounds like you are trying to play the puzzy ass victim card here. Maybe your friends resume' was just BETTER then yours?

I think you need to chalk this one up as a learning experience and stick it out. Why a city slicker moves to the country and then biatches about not having a schitty McDonalds closeby or drinking overprice designer coffee, I have no clue.

All the things you are complaining about were all present before you got there. You failed to recognize that and look into things beforehand. Hunting, fishing, and mudding....have you even tried those stupid redneck activities? How about stepping outside of your comfort zone and expanding your CULTURE some? Thats right, rednecks have their own culture....mainstream society just doesn't recognize it.

Learning how to make the best of a situation is a great life skill to have.

Lmao where is this you speak of? How can you undermine that black college grads face double unemployment rate then blacks. Last, just because you see them in an office doesn't mean they are getting paid the same or have a job that means **** lmao.

Dhoulmagus, nothing is impossible. The job market is tough, and the odd's may be stacked against you. It is not, however, impossible for you to succeed. Learning to be happy within yourself regardless of anything material would do you a world of good. Happiness is a state of mind.

You need to believe in yourself & your capabilities. You took a calculated risk by moving out to the sticks to gain experience in your role, that takes a lot of balls!

You have accepted that the route you are headed down is not a productive one and have said you would love a job in an urban area. Make it your mission to achieve this, do not be deterred.

Yes, but I miss out on opportunities and there's no incentive to stay here other than experience.

If I remember you said you lived in Jamestown ND. I live in Fargo...plenty of tail and a few long term fwb's. This is college town dude. You could be dating lots of young hotties here and there.

**i recently went back to college for another degree. Easiest thing ever opening on hot 21-22 year olds. They eat up the smartass ****ery.

Like you, I took the risk and thought I could do it. I think I can say that I gave it 6 months and it's not for me. I've never been to Hartford, but I can see it being bad. The Northeast is only great if you are a tourist or some old money WASP person lol. Atlanta is one of the cities I'm aiming for because I have friends and connections there. Plus, it is a 3 hour drive away from my family instead of a 700 dollar plane trip or 2 day trip.

New York is way too alpha for you bro...stay out in the Midwest or on the left coast...people like you get chewed up and spit out for breakfast here

Look at your attitude. "or have a job that means sh1t". LOL pathetic right there. Every job means sh1t, drop that entitled attitude. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS. That victimized attitude. And with affirmative action its almost guaranteed if two equal people black an white raced apply. the black person will receive the job.


Maybe you should figure out why blacks have a higher murder rate and are killing eachother by the truck load all over the country instead of worrying about the black people who actually are doing right in the world and are college educated. There are jobs everywhere...but like you CLEARLY PROVED, these jobs you are "too good" for...because they dont "mean sh1t"..in your own words.

Fargo is too far away and the town is unappealing. 3 hours might not sound too bad when you don't have to work 40-50 hours 5 days a week.
