If you’re like me, you’re part of the ten percent of the workforce actively failing to get a job. If you’re even more like me, you’ve spent many years training for a highly specialized job, of which there aren’t any, making you overeducated and undesirable for many other jobs, leaving you with the same level of marketable skills as a high school graduate.
If it turns out you’re starting to suspect that your chosen field, the one in which you did all that training and specializing, is really a charade and you wish someone had told you years ago about the emperor and his clothes and all that, then our similarities are getting uncanny.
Just don’t tell me that you can’t get a callback about a volunteer job, because that would be too weird.
