So I just need to vent some here. I am 28 being felling stuck for a long long time at a job that I cant stand that causes me depression big time but have been looking for a new job for a long long time but no one wants to higher me they always say they are not looking for anyone or they have decided to go with some one else most of the time its we are not looking for anyone and yes I go back a lot to try to show them I really want the job and to see if things change. I fell trapped stuck and well just hopeless more and more ever day. I started school a few years ago after having not done any school after high school for like 8 years. I figured I would go for a accounting degree has I am good with math can do a lot of math in my head like more then most people but ended up finding out that accounting is really not that much math and was like behond confused so I ended up dropping the class. I have now been thinking I would see how high I can go in math has I know math is something that really makes some one stand out and I would like to do something with sports/math. Really the reason I started school in the first places is because I felt like I had no choice with all the effort I have put into finding a new job with zero luck. Even though I have always thought I was good at math I do think algebra is confusing because really its like not even math.

When you just put letters and such in there it just gets heck of confusing. In highschool I only did algebra nothing above that and after doing some collage math eliminter algebra is like basicly what I learned in highschool. I am now doing intermidate algebra and fell lost like have no idea what I am really doing and already fell like I may have reached my math limit. Yes I have said I can do math in my head but the problem with algebra is there are just way way to many formulas and like trying to remember all of them and like the million steps that each one takes and like knowing when do you use this formula vs when to use this other one is just like way to much to remember for me. We are half way threw the semester now and I am only at a like 66% including a 32/100 yesterday on my 2nd test meaning I need to raise my grade by like 4% just to barely pass the class and if not for extra credit would most likely be at like a 64-62% right now and the 2nd half of the semester has 4 test where the first part only had 2 meaning that its going to most likely just get harder going forward. I thought for sure I would at least be able to get threw algebra though it would be more like calculas or trig that would get me but now I don't know if I am even going to be able to make it passed this class.

Please tell me that 30's are easier then the 20's. I hate hate the 20's sure hope that the 30's are better and easier. I know I would be so much happier if I had a job I even kind of like. I am so tried of felling trapped hopeless and having like zero idea what I am doing or what to do and trying to stay motivated is so hard and just fells more and more pointless ever day. I have like zero patchiest at this point has I fell like life has been testing my patchiest and I am not a patchent person in the first place.
 
It mostly depends on your personal experience, and how you react to situations around you. Entering the fourth decade of your life won't make things easier, it will only make you older.

I agree with Aziz, a lot depends on the person. I didn't care for my 20s either. My 30s have been better, but still difficult. That's just life. Every decade will gave hardships. A lot of your trouble just comes from the way the world is right now. It can't be helped. My wife is ten years younger than I am but we both are having trouble finding decent jobs.
 
Nope. Every decade gets harder and you are older and stiffer and uglier to boot.

Getting married made it much worse.

Work-wise, if algebra gives you trouble you may need to look to fields were math is not that important. Maybe you have a bad base or bad teachers but math is a lot more than just basic arithmetic and without some intuitive talent it takes a lot of work to force your way into it.

Sorry for not having good news.
 
Hahahahahahahahahhahah........he's 28 and life is rough.....hahahahahahahahahahah......

The reason I laugh.....I'm 60 years old......and he's complaining about being 28.
 
what is your job that you hate so much?
 
Why would your age suddenly make things better? You have to actively change your situation for anything to improve.

I'M 62... and I started complaining when I turned 40 and it's been one b**ch-fest after another about one thing or another... :funny:
 
Quit your job and travel. That will make you appreciate your life.
 
It sounds cliche af but really it's all about your perspective. I'm reading this book currently and it is downright amazing. This is not some BS self help mumbo jumbo but more into philosophy, the actual meaning of happiness and why we constantly relate it to external things be it significant others, cars, jobs, etc. Def think you should check it out as it may help shift your perspective.

Not saying that age makes things better by its self. Just saying that when you are young the stress and work trying to find a solid job can be hard to deal with and it takes time to actively find something or change something. Hoping that by 30s I will have stuff change can't force someone to give me a job can only put in the work and I have just no results yet.

School might not be the best for you. Have you tried maybe a vocational/trade school?

That might be better for you than traditional schooling since you are struggling.
 
I think for most people their 20s are among the best years of their life. You're young, single and free. Do anything. Do you what you want. Pursue your dreams.

It's when your older and have obligations things actually become stressful.

My advice -- figure out what you really want in life and chase it. Make a plan and go all in. I've met someone who did that and regretted it.
 
Do you have money saved up?

Quit your job. Move. Or travel. Or both. You're literally wasting your youth right now being stressed and feeling hopeless. Nothing is going to change unless you make a change.

This isn't some hippy advice either. You are wasting your time.
 
I'm not sure if my circumstances get easier or if my coping mechanism are just getting stronger.
 
This is me, lol. And I'm 51. :p

I hope this doesn't come across as weird or creepy, but you type the same way my mom texts. Right down to the emoticons. If I didn't know that she has zero interest in anything comic-booky, I would think you were her.
 
This thread is just one disappointment followed by another. I'm sorry that's the case, spiderman2.

Lol, I'm not your mom, but life would be better if more moms read comics or at least watched the movies. :)

My dad makes her go to the movies with him when I'm not around. She almost fell asleep during BVS.
