i envy all of you that can just get an abv minimum wage job

idk if this is a requirement for above minimum wage everywhere but everywhere around here that pays above minimum wont hire people with no work history (its out there that they do but i have no work history and i didnt get hired from any of the places i applied for) and i really dont wanna settle for minimum wage after i struggled to graduate (i was in a hole due to my laziness (all the way through the end of junior year all i needed to do was pay attention and do half the work and i passed easily but in senior year i got into a "fight" (for lack of a better word as it was hardly a fight and its BS that i got in trouble for it when the other person acted like a bully and then they fell back to play the part of the victim) and wanted to give up but i made the mistake of letting myself be fooled into thinking it makes a difference whether i have a diploma or GED) - after all being a whopper flopper is for dropouts and if i go get a minimum wage job i may as well have dropped out.

let me know kindly if this is actually unreadable (i know my grammar is horrible no need to point that out) so i can break it down to try and explain it

i dont really have any goals - i just know im gonna have to get a job and really dont wanna settle for minimum wage - cuz as i said i really feel like if i get a minimum wage job that i may as well have dropped out.

@ above; lol i dont have a job - im sure i could go be a whopper flopper for minimum wage but as i said if i do that than i may as well of dropped out - also i went through several interviews but its been months and i dont have a job - better to not be called at all than to bother and waste your time (even if society says your time is only worth minimum wage)

[quote=BBisUnbalance]it should pay well being that it took 8 years to get your current job - i cant imagine going through an extra 8 years of school for any job.[/quote]

[quote=dimo]I studied at university for 8+ year in order to get my current job. Definitely worth the time, not only the job rewarding but it pays rather well.[/quote]

[quote=Heatless]lulz whopper flopper

Just look around some more, I doubt there are no jobs out there that won't accept first timers.[/quote]

i already filled out for like 6 different jobs at different places months ago - nothing happened at any of those so why bother just to waste my time?
