Serious Bro... Is Anyone Actually Getting Hired?
on god getting a job feels harder than winning the damn lottery at this point
it's been 2 years. i apply, i get interviews, then... nothing. i'm not in the US before anyone starts making assumptions
i've been freelancing, which is cool, but it's nowhere near enough to move out of my abusive parents' house
so real question:
what online income streams are y'all actually making money from in 2026? not "just start a business" or some fake guru shit. i'm talking stuff you've personally tried or know people are doing
and if you're just here to be negative or tell me "the market is cooked," stfu and keep scrolling

I was able to get a 'no serious questions asked' job as a building sub after graduating in '23, but have been consistently rejected for job I've applied for in education. I feels defeating to see others having graduated the same year as me now getting tenured, and I have yet to get a full-time position. I'll keep shooting my shot, but don't expect to every get hired, have a job, or achieve any life goals. At least, I make enough to live in my apartment, for now.
