I am literally living in my Mother's basement. Just graduated from college, can't find work :(

Oh, the feeling sorry for yourself thread. Come on. You come on to a blog and play this poor me crap? Stand up and be strong.

What has happened to this generation?

At least I have my health. Although sometimes I do feel like ->

LOL, naw I just figured someone would get a chuckle at it. I know I did :-D

Besides, can't a guy live in his Mother's basement without feeling sorry for himself? It's temporary sheesh.

AWESOME!!!! Enjoy it while it lasts. :)

I know right, keeps the costs down and Mom does make some real good food

I'll take you out of the 1 star. My job here is to make 1 star bandit's opinion irrelevant.

You got a whole basement to yourself? You're living the fucking dream!

Start a cult and just get loaded with the locals for the rest of your remaining days. And speaking of getting on the horse and never getting off... You live anywhere near Olympia? We should totally slam dope sometime.

Haha, thanks bud. I don't even know why people bother rating threads like this one. It's about a pretty neutral topic altogether.

Anyways, I am in SoCal with the whole gas crisis thing, so I'll be in for the night to save gas. Anybody got anything entertaining to discuss?

LOL! This basement, not even exaggerating, is 1800 sq feet. It doubles as a bomb shelter. Yes, my parents are prepers. Hell, we even have a separate room that is the "clean room" with an air filtration system. Lots of food too. Was thinking about turning this mofo into a club; ka-ching ka-ching.

Just tell the feds you're protected by Blanco Nino when they try to raid the place. They'll know... They'll probably even set you up with your own drug supply, so long as you promise to sell primarily to minorities.

I guess that's worse than figuratively living in your Mother's basement.

True... could be living in some crack house somewhere.

You can thank Obama for that.
Go on welfare, get food stamps. medicaid, all
your "entitlements".

That's where the black massa wants you.
Right under his thumb.

Don't dispair, you're not the only one having to move back in, and you won't be the last. Be thankful you have a place to stay and a gracious Mom.

5*

Thanks, and your right, I am very fortunate. 1800 SQ FT to myself lol, mostly empty space though.

Offer it up Ac 249319, you will save souls.

Our child graduated last December, she is living at home
but has a job. She can't live on her own, too expensive.

It's the end times. What's the verse about when bread
costs too much?

Don't worry, look toward Jesus, it's going to get much
worse. Give your mother and father a hug.

Get online and look at jobs in South Dakota, North Dakota & Montana. They have a major oil boom going on right now in the region.

A kid with a college degree in a booming area...the sky is the limit.

I don't care what your degree is in. Your already ahead of the rough-necks. White collar, go for it!

Next time your mom calls down the stairs, answer with "YOU DON'T KNOW WHUT PAIN IS!" in your best Silence of the Lambs voice.

Instead of looking for work, ask what kind of skill you can acquire that people would pay for.

Think of all the customer service jobs in California that WILL go Spanish/English bilingual individuals...why not be one of them.

Or, if you can swing it, go to China to teach English. Come back in a few years Chinese/English bilingual.

They do this to make you sign up for the volunteer military.

DONT do it

The job problem is not real ; all part of the game to make more younger people sign up.

Try Macdonalds for a while instead of Freeloader !!!
Your diploma may help to improve those shitty burgers !!

So, How's that Hopey-Changey thingy workin out for ya, eh?

I didn't need a degree to figure out I should have stayed living with mom & dad.

You'll never be richer in your life...

If you didn't finish in the top 10% of your class you wasted your time & money... that's the way it goes...

The good news is fast food is hiring college grads...

OP, what is your College Major?

Smart move. Economy is horrible and it would be a shame to waste money that didn't need wasted, on a place away from home. Bet your Mom is real glad to have you, too!

if you want a job right away you can join the military and go for commissioning as an officer with specialized training to fulfill a dream as lead or follow however you see fit. Officers get paid well and you get tons of benefits. Just an idea since you already have your degree.

just don't start doing this dance and you'll be ok
