Why are so many people experiencing "graduation depression"?

>>135779243
Yes, most majors are memes. The only ones with value are STEM, law, business/finance/economics/accounting/marketing, medicine and thats about it. Majority of the rest like literature, philosophy or gender studies are retarded and not marketable to employers

That or they figured they don't like their future job

>>135780454
Well if they are good writers they could write a book and if it's good it should sell and if it's really good maybe it gets turned into a movie

I can't imagine how bad impostors syndrome is when you're an actual impostor.

>>135780454

i majored in writing and average ~125+k / year. i know many liberal arts majors who make similar salaries. a degree is a degree, and even STEM/law are useless if you cant put yourself out here and get a job. even in those more specialized fields, the degree field itself is only important if you plan on pursuing higher education in that field (e.g. becoming a doctor or something similar). any hack can bumble their way through a law degree at a shitty school.

basically. I was aviation major with AFROTC and now I am at SUPT and loving it.

>>135779243

no, its because they majored in a meme joke degree and college was just play time for 4 years and constant smoke being blown up their asses, then then went out into the real world and got hit real hard with the fact that they are useless faggots

when i graduated from high school i went straight into a minimum wage job and did army training on the weekends
school is infinitely more fun than work, and the lack of variety in such a menial job can really come as a shock to someone who's recently come out of an environment full of friends, fun and parties.
i've been to exactly one party in the last year compared to 2-3 parties a month while i was in school
call me a degenerate or a kid or whatever but i miss school and work is a fucking drag

>>135779243
I had graduation depression when I finished High School, because I didn't know what to do after I graduated.

not even shitty degrees. most young whites these days are so autistic and brain damaged that they lack even basic networking skills. they literally believe that the second the graduate people are lining up to hire them.

you have to make fucking connections in college if you want a job after graduation. make friends with your professors and classmates or suffer.

>>135781172

i'm 29 with many years to go. considering i inherited nothing, id say i'm in a good place, particularly in reference to the NEETs on this board. but go ahead, move the goalposts some more. let me guess, you're a STEM student now who thinks someone is going to magically hand him a job making 200k a year the day your graduate? fucking KEK.

They were cool and important in college and some regular fuckhead in the real world.

Because American college is a vacation/party resort for young Americans and they don't get to sleep in till 11 and smoke weed with their friends all day and ride the cock carousel by night anymore

It's always scary entering the post-graduation phase of life, but today's graduates think they're paying for the degree as a service, and then the degree will work like a job voucher when they graduate.

Once they realize they aren't inherently precious, have to actually prove themselves, show marketable skills, and develop their own professional identity all by themselves beyond the degree they "paid for," they get depressed.

TLDR modern graduates are emotionally subnormal losers with no concept of how the world works, i.e. it doesn't revolve around them or owe them a job "cuz I got my degree."

>>135781517
youre talking about the successful ones that get jobs anon, this article is talking about autistic STEM students that have no social skills and therefor no value in society.

I want to meet you IRL. Like what the fuck kind of person would come up with this at random. You're peobably a top tier bro and very funny.

It is because 99.9% of all majors are memes if you don't even try to talk to the professors to get job options after college. Only engineers really get jobs without having to do any networking.

>>135782688

In my opinion working is much better than being in highschool or college because you only have to pay attention to it while you're at work and can do whatever you want with your free time, no studying or worrying about finishing a project or homework. If you have decent coworkers it definitely helps too.

You don't have "idealistic" profs selling rhetoric to an echo chamber anymore all of the sudden they realize they are a vocal minority with a buttload of debt.
Also the majority of university students are women so for a majority of graduates to exhibit mental health issues should come to no surprise

No. College used to be a good transition period between childhood and adulthood. Since college is basically high school 2.0 these days there is no transition period and when people graduate they are violently ejected into adulthood without being prepared.

>>135783192

Cause in college they feel important with all the social justice stuff going on and whatnot, lots of events to hang out with other students.

Then they hit the real world where there's so much less of that, can't go out and party 24/7 since you don't live in a dorm with hundreds of people.

You start to realize you are not special and are just an average person, and they can't handle that

You don't have to study anything to be a good writer. Learn your language thoroughly (fucking pay attention in elementary school), keep a journal, use words you're not familiar with, visit "Word of the day" pages or podcasts. Learn to SPEAK like a proper human being and not like a kang. I keep a journal, I write articles about whatever interests me and I don't even fancy myself a writer, but I love to write.

On another note, I am a computer engineer (not a shitty cs major). I would definitely be a virgin if I didn't know how to properly use my mother tongue. Keep learning fellas.

Out in the real world people disagree with you and want you to explain why you think what you do. People ask why you work at a nonprofit making Wendy's money.

Oh, and they're probably in debt. And a tranny.

Also stop insulting women you insensitive fuck. Get out of your basement and talk to real women. Not every girl is a plastic bitch who only ever cares about Makeup and clothes. There are many girls who are into as many weebshit as you are, and are hikkikomori and have put as many hours into CSGO as you have. Stop the women are all plastic meme.

Admittedly I'm ugly but I'm not like those roasties. I have my own personality and don't give a fuck about the size of whomever the fucks dick. All those whores should get AIDS and die. Women should relearn to fucking respect themselves and stay loyal to one partner lifelong.

I don't think many stem majors expect to make 200k on graduation.

They were told going to university was necessary to become adults so they picked whatever sham degree they could get accepted to, but then got infantilased and indoctrinated by postmodernist-neomarxists.

They need to sort themselves out.

Also on a side note people who think of a man's virginity as negative can kill themselves. I wouldn't marry a man who isn't a virgin even if he was the best romantic match. I hate manwhores as much as I hate woman whores.

Writing a book is something you do as a hobby that can turn into a career if your good. It is not something you should be pursuing from the onset as a career because you will starve while you write, build an audience, and get recognized.

All it is is separation anxiety, home sickness. When you spend a few years with the same people only to have to upend your social life because you have to move on that can cause an emotional whiplash. The journey to graduation provides a comfortable routine for many and when routine gets disrupted that upsets people, even moreso when that routine is never coming back. I bet it's the same psychological phenomenon that retirees go through except retirement has much more investment. Thirty years versus four to eight or so.

for men interacting with women is really tiresome for variety of reasons
your very presence is a thread to male spaces that are needed for male psychical health

all men uderstand those two things on some lvl but anons on 4chan are simply more aware of it
so either make it worthwile and show your tits or if you looking for male acceptance and support in your life then find yourself a husband

This. I know people who are in their fifties and have never left college. Six or seven years for an undergraduate degree, eight or ten in "graduate school" (a.k.a. dicking around writing a paper no one will read) and then three or four years student teaching while they wait for a job to open up in a school somewhere so they can repeat the cycle by teaching college students to do the same thing. Always in some totally useless major where the only thing you could possibly do to earn a living is to teach.

Now that I think about it, to call them parasites in an insult to the parasite community.

They don't teach you how to interview and most people of college age these days aren't suited for a white collar or corporate environment. Very few degrees are still meal tickets.

Well living the student life where you party and go out every weekend and often several times a week, and where you spend most of your time with friends or doing something you want to do and then going to working full time 8 hours a day and getting tired and realizing that you will be a wage slave for the rest of your life from now on can quickly make anyone depressed.

I want to start shooting the people responsible for this shit. 1/3 of people in my major can't get a job at all after graduation and 1/2 work in minimum wage. It's a good major, it was hard as shit and supposedly extremely in demand. The jobs that actually exist are either part time or pay so little that you can't live on the wages in even the cheapest shared place with roommates in the shittiest, most far-flung suburb of the city eating ramen every day and dumpster diving.

Fuck you.

>>135781329
>they literally believe that the second the graduate people are lining up to hire them.
It's not entirely their fault man, they're literally told that repeatedly starting as early as middle school, and the only people who try to tell them otherwise are denigrated as "losers" with no education.

Hell my younger siblings SAW the hell I went through trying to find a job after graduating uni and they STILL won't listen to me. They think it'll be different for them because they've been lied to their whole lives. I can't wait to laugh at them.

Perhaps it's a blessing I ended up homeless months before graduating HS. I could have been one of these sad saps, though I'm sure their degree makes them more viable for a job despite me having over a decade of work history in retail.

>>135779243
It also probably has a lot to do with the fact that garbage sluts will usually see a marked decline in their opportunities to be degenerate whores after graduation. They don't want careers or achievement. They want to leech off of some man and continue to ride as many dicks as possible. They won't admit it to themselves, but I imagine that this is the case.

>>135779243
Two reasons:

1) They've wasted money on something useless

2) They've just spent 3-5 years delaying their transition into the adult world. They didn't want to face the responsibility that life demands, and so decided to go to big boy school (modern university). Now they're adults but they aren't mature. They have responsibilities but they don't have any willpower. The armbands have come off, but they don't know how to swim.

>>135779243
Because their reality doesn't match their expectations.
You get a degree so you expect to get a good job with good status and good pay.

Most STEM people end up doing the work, while Liberal Art majors become executives and managers.

Let's assume for a second they're not lying (99.999% chance they are) and assess the premise. If they're starting at 120k a year, and not lying (so 00.001% chance) then they're undoubtedly living in an area like NYC or San Fransisco which is the only place these "starting wages" exist and where the cost of living is so high that 120k a year is pretty much poverty-tier. They don't have any more savings than you after taking care of their basic needs every month like shelter, food, and maybe some new underwear. It's all about perspective and logic.

Do you think these corporations have random "alphas" from nearby gyms leading teams of engineers on multi million dollar projects?

Bullshit. If any field is saturated it's the business field. Its basically the degree kids take thinking "DUDE MONEY LMAO" like you do. Everybody hates the management middle layer because they dont actually do anything except order around and arent competent at all.

Let me give you a redpill about the corporate world. It does not matter what your gpa is, or what school you went to, or what your major was. You will not reach the top of a corporation unless you have people in the boardroom vetting for you. Even if you went to Harvard, Penn, etc They only do this to people they know.

Yes, STEM transferring to business is very possible. Again, you need social skills and cannot be a pussy. However, to transfer, you need an MBA. Unless you want to work in tech, it really does not matter what you worked in before an MBA, as long as you excelled in it.

i also entered college under similar circumstances and had trouble with basic algebra

but i studied pretty much every night for months and eventually i began to put things together and made good grades. i was fortunate enough to have an extremely patient and based professor though and without that professor i don't know that i would have made it as far as i have.

Accounting/finance, asshat.

And the poster who said 50k starting is wroooooooooooooong as hell. Starting jobs are paying 15-20 an hour, which works out to maybe 30-40k. A good portion of the jobs pay even less than 15/hour. You'd be better off as a burger flipper.

I can't argue with stupid people. 100k a year is 10% in the country. Obviously if a garbage man makes 100k a year in NYC, white collar management jobs pay more. Did your girlfriend get cucked by a businessman? It is not a unknown thing that business pays if you network.

Hold on now. It's not all sunshines and rainbows for the H1-B guys.

Source - I was a potential H1-B recipient.

I decided at the end of the day just to go back to Europe. H1-Bs are the equivalent of slavery. A company can at any time terminate your employment and subsequently your visa. You would have to leave the weeks following.

That's why so many companies take Pajeets as H1-B visa holders because they can treat them like shit, make them work overtime with little to no compensation, basically break the law with them, because, let's face it - what are you going to do about it? Complain to HR?

I never said it wouldnt buy you a big house dumbfuck.

Notice how none of the pathways I listed included STEM. Are you low IQ?

The stuff that makes you rich is NOT taught in any school or university. Again, most notably,
>your own company
>sales

100k is not rich, neither is 150k, and the same goes for 200k etc. When you start earning a mil or two a year you can come back. Otherwise accept the fact that you are part of the proletariat like the rest of us.

>>135802448
It's a shrinking market, with more SMBs doing more with Dynamics, Power BI, Sharepoint and other dotnet products, as well as Flow internally, while the number of pajeets flooding the market willing to work for dollars a day is only increasing.

Rich is subjective. If you make more money than 90-99% of the country, you are not poor, or middle class. You are just arguing subjective opinions.

>>135779243

If you are applying to hundreds or thousands of jobs and not getting a single callback...
>Your resume sucks (wording, lack of keywords or tool expertise listed, too long or too short, not specified to the job you are applying for, etc.)

If you are getting a callback phone interview from a hiring manager/recruiter, but not getting asked to come in to the interview...
>Your interpersonal skills likely suck.

If you get called in for the actual in-person interview and not getting hired...
>Your body language, interview experience, or ability to ask/answer questions sucks

There is always a degree of luck of course, but in general, at every level of the hiring process for a white collar job - there are "right" and better things you could be doing, and "wrong" or shittier ways are probably are doing.

Hope this helps!...

>>135802900
>Rich is subjective.
Hahahahahha, sure thing prole! Then shall we take the UN's definition of rich? Pro tip: it is over 30 million USD.

Are you female btw? You seem incapable of arguing with logic.

>>135802549
>H1-Bs are the equivalent of slavery
This this this this this.

That's why tech companies love H1B so much - they get to replace higher-paid Americans with foreigners who not only earn less but can't leave - fuck, who can't even complain.

It's slavery, and it's good to hear the slaves realize it too.

You have to act on them too. With plans I mean choosing one or more possible career paths during your study and then choose courses and internships that will help you take up the path you want.

Houston has always been cheap. The only issue is that driving is hell and your next door neighbor maybe a renter.

honestly dude I'm right there with you

I have a masters in med science (useless I know) and a bs in biology. Worked in ER for years. Didn't get into PA school. Loans were racking up, hopped on some shit sales job and here I am. I've applied to a ton of places and they're either all more shit sales jobs that they give to anyone with a pulse or it's lab work for 12 dollars an hour, and even then they want fucking certification. College is a fucking joke and I regret it everyday. I wish just one person would have told me that not going to college was okay, that starting a business or learning a trade was okay, but no.

I'm this close to just joining the military. I hate bullshit corporate culture and sales. It's meaningless. The highlight of my day is going home and lifting and then reading fashy literature.

The boomers did this. Pic fucking related.

>>135803679
I did that. 2 years of internships, charity manager, volunteer, on-campus jobs

Almost a year out of graduation and I'm unemployed after a temp job ended.

The economy is just kind of shitty, and as always, it's who you know.
