/adv/ im struggling here, plz help. So this past school year I had my boss for the internship I had say that he wants me to stay on board and continue to work after college (i do some networking with other people/companies but not much. was relying on this desu) . I asked about salary starting in january, but he puts it off until about may, and then I get apendicitis and he says we can talk when I feel better. last month I met with him and he lowballed the fuck out of me (not a livable wage), and expected me to work 60-70 hours a week, which would even out my salary to be less than min wage. I try to negotiate salary, he gets pretty pissed and rescinds the offer completely. now im unemployed and just graduated. Other part is my gf just broke up with me 2 hours ago after a 3 year long incredible relationship because she needs to be "on her own" and she doesn't want to do the long distance thing. She is headed to law school and she's afraid she will make decisions based on how close she is to me rather than what the best opportunity is for her. I'm sort of torn between being absolutely crushed and being alright with it because it makes logical sense for her career and wherever I end up. I would really appreciate any advice you give me that keeps me positive during all this, and how to not dwell on shit and go "down the spiral" as I like to call it. I'm just really sad and pissed at the same time, and I know I gotta climb back up and improve my life by making what I want to happen, happen. so....how do i do it? thank you

You've just been taught the most important lesson about employment - NEVER put off the dicussion about SALARY. Your life revolves around how much money you make so make the most. Always enquire about how much the position pays. When you have multiple job offers you can negotiate for more money.
