i got rejected from everywhere else i applied, including like tier 1 tech support, random project management, and office assistant jobs. if i didn’t get picked up here i would probably be making like 30k at wherever would pick me up. i’m a nepo-baby so my dad probably would have hired me.

my running backup plan was to move back into my parents basement, get hired at my dads place at essentially nothing just to put something on my resume, maybe go to technical college or get certifications or something. was pretty bleak for a while.
