I'm 25, have 13k in cash, and I'm living with my parents. I have no real expenses other than a yearly phone bill and my skincare. I'm unemployed with a degree in mechanical engineering. I lost 4k in gambling after a small winning streak. I applied to at least 500 jobs over the course of a year. I've applied to data science, software engineering, and regular engineering jobs that directly match my degree. Even internships. Multiple versions of my resume. Even decided to just bullshit and lie about my experience and knowledge but I can't get an interview. I also copied a friend's resume and applied to his company. I also got my dad's friend who's an engineer to try hooking me up at his company and he set out feelers with other people but nothing.
I don't understand it. It genuinely feels like God doesn't want me to find a job yet. I don't give a damn about having nice things or a nice car. I just want my parents to be proud of me. My dad even told me I should try Youtube. This is fucking embarrassing. My mom keeps mentioning going back for a masters degree but I cheated my way through my bachelors. Right after college I wanted to get a job as a cashier or something until I could start my career but my dad said no and called them "immigrant jobs". Now he wants me to apply to Walmart just to make some money. I feel humiliated. And everyday I go without making money, the longer it takes to fix my fucked up face. I don't want to be a NEET anymore. Any advice?
