I’m 25 and I lost my job about a month ago. I’m lucky enough that my family is helping out and I banked up a few bucks. Most people my age aren’t that lucky and frankly I don’t know what the hell to do with myself except keep looking.
If Obama is reelected...give up. If no don’t give up. At 25 I was 1.5 years out of Viet Nam and freshly laid off, due to seniority, from the job I really wanted. Didn’t have parents to run to so took every job I could fine permanent or part time for whatever wage I could get. Since then I changed careers 5 times and ultimately found success. I have retired now, reasonably comfortable and secure (unless Obama gets reelected)...
Don’t give up, defer gratification, save your money, live prudently, jump on every opportunity that comes your way and always keep eyes open for the things that you need to do for yourself to succeed.
Good luck
Some people that can’t find a job, create one. That may or may not be feasible for you. Good luck.
