stop with this you gotta do what you gotta do shyt. here in the uk we have over 100 people applying for a dish washing job. you seem to just assume that you can up and get a job because you "gotta do what you gotta do".

you from the states so you dont have half an idea about the unemployment problem in the uk.

Black people in America cant relate to the plight of UK citizens. You're right.

People need to stop focusing on finding a "job" so badly and start thinking about more creative ways to make money doing something they enjoy.

But then again its easy for me, on the outside looking in to say something like that. Not everyone has a passion and some people are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

:comeon: ok mitt. lets all get 20,000 dollar loans from our parents and start up a businesses too.

not tryna hate but thats not a viable option for a lotta people.

You don't need 20Gs or a loan to start a "business" many people who start it that way fail anyway. You should start small by trying to fill a need or doing something people put value on.

One thing I agree with you on is that is easier and safer to just do and be nothing.

I was lucky enough to get a full ride though. But even so realizing that a lot of our ancestors died so that we would have opportunities to work and go to school only gave me that much more drive. I can't speak for every black person in this country, but it's pictures and shyt that my pops used to show me as a kid to remind me of how difficult it was. So I always reminded myself of that. And even if I couldn't afford a lot of the things most people could as a broke college student, it didn't compare to what my moms and pops went through just to raise me and keep a roof over my head. I put myself out there, I would practically harass potential employers, but it worked. And when it didn't, I went to seminars and conferences and shyt just to get they business cards and give my resume. So I'm sorry I don't empathize with a 21 year old white girl who didn't get hired for a job. :stopitslime:

Exactly. Don't wanna sound insensitive but it sound like this girl was just expecting to slide into a job and probably never had rejection before. Imma biochemistry/microbiology major at a PWI. My motivation is when I look in a lecture hall of 200 people and see a handful of colored faces (not including dark skinned Indians :stopitslime:). When I got to my senior year and Apu from the Simpsons was tryna teach me about ATP hydrolysis and cooperativity of hemoglobin and Ms. Chang lee from the nail shop was tryna teach me about quantum theory in physics and alpha particle decay and I started failing those exams and it brought my GPA down knowing damn well the only thing I can do with this degree was med school did I ever contemplate killing myself??:usure: When the dining halls that take the meal bucks close at 8 and the only thing I got is classic ramen noodles did I contemplate killing myself?? :usure:

It just sounds like this girl never knew what a struggle was. To be honest I feel bad for people that just got it too easy because they'll be ignorant to so much of what people go thru. To be honest I just can't feel sorry for this girl.

yes well society is fukked up for making people believe you are what job you have. :comeon:

theres more unemployed than there are jobs. so how people expect us unemployed to just up and get a job is foolish. im just hapy im getting paid to be unemployed.
Well she is in the UK so I am not well-versed on that but over in the US, there's a skill gap.
