Struggling to feel like most things are really worth it with how the world is now. Searching for a job will be an unbearably miserable experience between ghost job listings, AI scanning everything instead of real people and just how awful the job mark is in general. Any job someone with my lacking credentials could get will undoubtedly be a terrible position with awful pay, probably with shitty co-workers and a bad boss. Attempting to do anything in a creative field would already be impossible for me with my complete lack of skill, but pretty much every creative industry is utter hell to work in. Animators, game developers, artists, musicians, content creators, pretty much anyone falling into a creative category is excessively overworked, underpaid and constantly treated like shit no matter what they do. All of this on top of AI and every other horrible thing happening makes me struggle to see any path in life where the seemingly endless negatives don't outweigh the positives.
