There are tons of jobs you could do. Apply to a ton of places that typically require an English degree. One thing that helped me is working jobs on sites similar to Fiverr which I could then use in a portfolio. Good luck, things will work out for you.

You graduated in the middle of February?

[Anonymous No.14711044]

i'll be honest and quick and i wont come back to this thread

you need to pick up freelance, or short term gigs through a staffing agency, for copywriting for marketing campaigns or whatever. those WON'T pay your main bills, you may have to get a restaurant job while you build this portfolio. Do THIS for a year or two. seriously. it takes that long. NO ONE will hire you for a serious full-time position fresh out of college. don't let anyone tell you otherwise. unless you have internships or super high GPA to show for anything, it's just a bullshit fact: companies have 30-70 year old miserable slugs who will hate working with a 22 year old who has no experience.

BUILD your resume/portfolio with freelance short term gigs. otherwise, you can take a shitty entry level job but you will hate your coworkers.

ALSO, you might become an alcoholic, but it won't last forever.

good luck.

Why do i do this? Why do i judge people on style? Why is it that we can only signal what we're like this way.
I just assume a tomboy is more likely to like sci fi.

[Anonymous No.14712756]

>>14712351

Maybe she does like sci-fi, models are people too

Also there are plenty of qt tomboys out there, they're just not as visible because they don't have pictures taken of them and put on the internet

Yes. I implied that too. I'd assume a model doesn't care about that, and i'd assume a tomboy might.

teacher
writer (including blogs, books, poems, and short stories)
journalist
editor
librarian (although that doesn't really utilize the degree)
online tutor

that's all i can think of, although i doubt that many more jobs exist with an English degree but I could be wrong

Nah, I got a shit billet, but I now have a solid amount of time to read. Being underway isolates you, forcing you to find something to do during downtime. Some play vidya or cards, while I read and try to lift with the shit “gym” we have onboard. If I could do it all over again I’d join the army and do an intel job, or join the peace corps. I kinda regret it but at least I can get my masters while I’m in or use the GI bill when I get out. The coast guard functions a bit differently from the other branches, especially since it’s DHS and not DoD. Do your research into the military, you’re literally signing your life away for X amount of years.
