Hey,

28M in a couple months I’m going to graduate with a B.A. of Economics. I thought this was going to be a practical degree, but I’ve learned no employer cares, and it’s virtually a worthless degree.

I’ve was planning to spend another year at college to get a second degree in CompSci. 

But I just did the math. I have $54,701.00 in student loan debt. Of which about half is at 9-10% interest. I can’t afford another year of school to get another degree, when my current job only pays me $37,000 salary a year.

I’ve been trying to get a 2nd FT job for months, applying to multiple industries, revamping my resume. Nothing works.

I recently had to downsize from living in an apartment to renting a room from a stranger on Craigslist.

All my living expense keep rising, yet my wages have stayed the same.

I feel like a hamster in a wheel. I keep trying to get ahead in life, but I never make it anywhere. I’ve felt this way ever since I was 18. I’m 28 now, and I feel like I haven’t made any progress. 

I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel hopeless.
