i am sorry but i am extremely bothered by the fact that all my life i've been told that if I work hard, stay in school, get good grades, I can do and be whatever I want..
By my teachers, parents, coaches.. graduate high school with good grades, do extracurricular activities, be and stay a good kid, i'll get into a good college, and if i do well there, i'll graduate and get a nice job. "can't get a good job with out college"
But I gotta work hard. Stay smart.. Now I feel like I've passed those points. I feel like I've worked relatively hard. And I'm still working hard-
I'm sorry, am I all of a sudden not working hard enough now? Is applying for jobs all the time and not hearing back not hard enough? Or maybe it's working for free doing what I want to be doing... and not getting paid? Or was it when I worked a shitty job at panera, driving 45 minutes there and back just to make minimum wage, no i probably still wasn't working hard enough..
And you know, i KNOW it's not just me. It's all the people who are my age, graduating.. right now....I know it's hard and it sucks.. and i'm sorry..
Because if you can't find a job, well, congrats on those four hard years and graduating with a college degree.. welcome to fucking nothing.

It can be frustrating, Lindsey. Sadly, we're fed a lot of lies about "working hard and anything is possible." But if you stick with it and keep networking (in the entertainment biz here in L.A., networking is *everything*,) then you really will have a good shot at making a living at this. I wish you luck.
