I have been at this crap job for a year now. I know I should be paid more and it sucks.

I applied for a job in my "actual field" as a trainee. I know I was qualified and I just got the "sorry" email a few minutes ago.

I almost feel like I should start taking jobs off my resume now.

It probably didn't help that I have grey starting to show in my beard...

I'm really at a loss on how to make traction in an actual career at this point.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
