I've been searching for a decent job for the past 3.5 years since graduating college. Currently, I'm living with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I've had 8 different referrals that led to interviews, but unfortunately, I've never made it past the final round. It's been really tough, and I'm starting to consider alternative life options. I've even wondered if homelessness is as bad as it sounds. I've received some advice from others suggesting that I might need to start with a lower-level job, like in customer service at a hotel, to gain some basic experience. I know I shouldn't feel ashamed for living with my parents while I search for something better, but it's wearing me down. It seems like everyone is saying that many people started with less-than-ideal jobs before moving up, and I guess I need to keep that in mind as I continue my search.
