I have 5 plus years of experience and I am exceptionally good at my job. I am a IT engineer and for the last 3 years, I was making a decent amount of money. Now I am jobless.
I have never had a dearth of offers and as a result I had a wonderful career right from the age of 18. Now, at 23 years I am finding myself side lines by younger graduates with good BULLSHIT skills. It seems that the world today prefers only graduates with BS; they do not seem to value experience and expertise anymore. I have 5 years of experience and some great references, but no one is really bothered about it. I do not have the "BS skills" – with my experience, there is nothing that a new grad can do that I cannot do ten times better.
But how can I prove my point. Thanks to my Skyline in the last three years my savings have been eroded to almost nothing.
This is the first time I feel the importance of a post graduate degree. For 5 years it never came to my mind because my skills were so highly appreciated. Now I can hardly make to the interview table, and then I am rejected like trash.
I have tried all my resources, asked friends for help, family, relatives, all. In my last interview, there were a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighbourhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licensplate said fresh and had dice in the mirror, If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought nah forget it, yo home to bel-air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air.
