You should invest in something, even if it's stocks or a 401k. Let your money work for you instead because when you put in enough, it should not only outweight your daily salary in a single week, but outweight your salary multiple times in a year. Look at that turtle fucking shit, you could've gained 30x in a week and cashed that out.

Blue collar work ain't bad. Can be really comfy and satisfying if you land a job with nice coworkers and interesting day-to-day tasks.

The problem with temp agencies is that most places only need you for 1-2 weeks tops (some even only 1-2 days or less) so they can't be arsed to get to know you (or even be bothered to greet you or talk to you) and some of places I've been have even had a somewhat hostile or cold atmosphere. Also, the kind of job you're hired to do in those ultra-short temps are usually completely braindead, monotonous tasks because they can't be bothered to spend time on a temp when he'll be gone the next day. Which is fair, I guess.

I don't know. I think there's a mental barrier. Sunken cost-fallacy. Me thinking I would have wasted 5 years at university if I do it, which, to some extent, is true.

I'm trying to land some internships or get into a wage subsidy program within my field but if I don't keep up working on the side doing temp work, I'll run out of unemployment insurance.

Further down the road (when that plan fails) I'll most likely do what the other anon suggested.
