I was looking for work since I dropped out of school at 17. Got my first job last October (after I'd turned 25) as a cleaner, lost it because the supervisor was a sleaze, then spent months canvassing myself to employers and handing in resumes (again) and finally got a job interview with the company I work for now a month-ish ago.
Its not the best job, every shift someone yells and swears at me. But the actual company is awesome to work for. They know we've got crappy jobs of so they pay us nicely and even though they're not required to they give us a 20 minute paid break halfway through our shift.
Is it where 10 year old me wanted to be? Nope. Should have stayed in school lol. But its as good as I'm getting right now and its not as bad as it could be.
