    Me with a degree in wildlife conservation!

    Yet finding work is almost fucking impossible and dealing with the bureaucracy of job hunting is so overwhelming, my unmedicated AuDHD ass cannot keep up.

      Yeah, I loved graduating with an environmental degree, and the only relevent jobs being hours away.

        I expected a lot of travel for the career, I just was naive in expecting that travel to be reimbursed as it’s a condition of the job. Nope, gotta foot the bill yourself.

        I have passion for this career in conservation but, unfortunately, I also have to be able to afford the cost of living.

          Yeah, that’s what I mean. To work anywhere in my field, I’ll need to pack up and move, finding an apartment on my own and still taking care of myself, while on a salary that’s not particularly great.
