Winter Month: 1 
Day 
Blizzard
Just need a place to vent that isn't my friends with jobs lined up or my mother telling me the "right thing will come."
I'm a senior biology major in college with absolutely no clue what I want to do with my life. Interned on a farm the past two summers, absolutely LOVED it, but there's no current job openings that are long-term and stable (summer internships, pay is horrible usually). I keep applying for jobs in my area in the general biology field ish - micro lab assistant, biotech entry level positions, animal care positions, etc etc - but no matter how many I apply to, I cannot for the life of me seem to hear back from any of them. It's not my resume, my school does a minimum of two separate classes focused entirely on resume building and I've had it triple checked by my peers. And it shouldn't be my experience, because I have the lab work, the animal care experience, the study abroad experience, the school.
I knew the job market was going to be bad coming into this, but I'm genuinely worried that I'm going to wind up as a barista forever. Not to dog on my baristas, I've been one for 7 years, I adore the work you do, but I didn't go to school for 4 years to do the same job I was doing in high school. My mother keeps telling me that I just need to apply, just need to reach out and do this and that, and I'm already doing everything. I literally cannot do anything else short of walking into the building and begging for an interview.
I don't think there's really any advice that can be given on the subject that I haven't already heard, I've just been applying to jobs nonstop and needed a place to let out my frustration. I know it's not true, but I feel like everybody around me has their life so much more together than I do, and like I'm just falling behind.
