Scenario: 26 year old graduate with a degree in Supply Chain management with student debt. Currently stuck at a dead end job making 75k a year in the finance industry. There's no room for growth in my company and I can't even get a phone screen on the applications I send out.

Law School: Too much debt, payoff doesn't seem worth the risk

Pilot: a lot of debt

Grad School for industrial engineering: My undergrad GPA is trash and more debt

Any other suggestions because I'm about to give up :(

"Dead end job"

"75k"

Stop fucking trolling man.

Unless you have a some dependents in an expensive area with a fuckload of debt how the fuck is 75k so little that you despair?

75k is well-off to somewhat wealthy in most the country as a single man which your post.

75k isn't a lot man, you can easily make that without a degree. I also want to make six figures, but I can't :(

Bullshit. Its higher than the national average household income and definitely not what your average degreeless person earns as salary/hourly by 26.

Its not "fuck you" money but its pretty good.

Boohoo. You can't fly a private jet and have a 10/10 personal maid suck you off. Life clearly isn't worth living.

Nothing wrong with being ambitious and wanting better opportunities, ignore CE. I had the same situation for myself about 3-4 years ago. I ended up switching fields.

So are you in supply chain or finance? Might need to move out of Nashville.

I'm sure 75k in Nashville is like digging rice out of rat holes in India.

P.S. You can't have "fuck you" money without generational wealth, so if your parents aren't millionaires then rip.

Yeah I think that's the biggest difference between adult life and school. In school the goal and how to get there is pretty clear. In real life there are so many other factors beyond your control. Sometimes it really is a waiting game.

You can always learn! Writing is nice because you can take your time and always revise it however you want. Although tbh thats not so true lately because Ive been using an old typewriter my friend gave me. >.>

But it just takes warming up.

I used to be a manager at Boeing and am now a manager for the state government, both in contracts/procurement.

I think employers are once again expecting tailored cover letters with a resume. It shouldnt hurt.

Consider including reference letters. Ask your managers to write one for you. Respected peers, etc.

Are you involved in your community at all? See if you can work that in somehow, depending on the employer.

Basically try to stand out a little.
