Feeling discouraged is one of the worst feelings in the world. You put effort into something, and you want to see a return. It's not often in life that we can throw a million darts at the wall and have none of them stick. But finding a job in your field can be one of those situations. You constantly put yourself out there, try to spin your skills to serve different positions, and you hear nothing in return. You then wonder if you're doing something wrong, but it's hard to define what that might be through all the noise of the job search. You just keep plugging away, sure that something will stick at some point.
The job-searcher in this story found himself particularly discouraged. He thought he had done everything right, and was confused why it wasn't seeming to pan out like he thought it would. He wondered if the promise of college was indeed a fallacy, and he was wondering what he could do about it. The way he saw it, he was being treated unfairly regarding the work he put in. The way some commenters saw it, his expectations were all out of whack. Keep reading to see what happened in this story and sift through the comments to get a taste of what other working people had to say.
