if u already went to school why the trouble gettin a job?

ITW [the irish boy]:
I understand how you all feel. This will be my third christmas without my mam and grandad here. It's fucked up and I found the first xmas was the worst coz noone wanted to do shit and i was still young, only 15. At 18, I have to pull my weight more, but the shit never stops. There was a big argument last year, so none of my relations are coming home. It was gonna be me, dad, my brother and my gran and her sis at xmas. But then her sis got diagnosed with cancer and shit looks like she'll die before the end of the xmas holidays. So shit looks like next year there'll be three empty spaces at the table and 4 of us left. And shit, thats at eighteen.
But you know how it goes, keep your head up, get a dream and head for it. I know people here understand that feeling where nothing has been said, everyone's quiet, and you know someones gonna die and u can't do shit about it. To tell you the truth I dont let it knock me down anymore. You never get over it, but life goes on. Keep your mind strong.

Because my degree is in psychology; I intended it to be a supplementary degree to like a job in sales, or customer service, or something like that, I never intended to be a psychologist.  Now I find myself stuck in a weird situation; I can't get a psychology job, because I didn't do any intern work while I was in school, so I don't have any experience.  All the sales jobs are some scandulous 100% commission crap, and the jobs that I WANT (Like today I saw a cool job for a collector/technician for an arcade vending route), they're scared to hire me becuase I have a degree, and they think I'll quit as soon as I find a decent psychology job.

I'm trying to find like a career path, and it's NOT going to be in psychology (does'nt pay), and I don't want to do sales (suit? tie? Yuck).  So, I want a service tech type of position, where I can use my hands, but still have some aspect of sales involved (Like the previously mentioned vendor route).  It's pretty hard to get into.  I could havejust went and got a job working as a insurance salesman, or some crap, but the whole thought of that line of work, and the fake crap I'd have to put up with disgusts me.  I'd much rather work in a service orientated profession.  


Also, on top of it all, the economy is bad, so it's hard to get a job making decent bank.  All I'm trying to do is match the 25 g's I was making at my previous job, but to no avail.  I think from now on, I'm not even gonna list that I'm a college graduate on my resume.
