Finishing a degree is something most people have probably been told by their parents when they were younger. Many would say that with a good educational background, they would be able to navigate the challenges of everyday life once they venture out on their own.

However, with the changes in the world today, the narrative that a good education equalssecure jobsno longer seems viable. Graduates struggle to find decent jobs despite relentlessly applying to various companies, which is why some end up frustrated.

To back this up, here is a case of a graduate who claims to be struggling to land a job despite holding a master's degree. He shared how he vigorously tried his luck with multiple companies but received little consideration.

'I Have A F***G Master's degree! I went to school for 12 years (...) Do you know how much school that is? It's a lot! And the worst part is (...) America, the government probably thinks it's the best part (...) I'm $120,000 in debt,' an individual named Timmy said in a video shared by Matrix Mysteries on X.

“I got denied by Walmart to be a cashier — and I’ve got a MASTER’S degree.”“I applied to 300 jobs. ONLY eleven even responded.”A generation sold the college ticket. Now the ticket doesn’t even get you in the door.pic.twitter.com/M59UsJCyMS

Timmy's outburst appears to have been triggered after he failed to land a job even with Walmart, where he applied for a cashier position. Given his credentials, some may question why he would stoop that low. Timmy explained why.

'I have applied to over 300 companies and I've gotten responses back from 11 of them. Why the f*** do you think I am applying to Walmart to be a cashier? Cause no one is hiring! Why even post a job offering if you're not gonna hire anyone or respond?' he rued.

At the time of this writing, the US unemployment rate is 4.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As far as unemployed individuals go, the figures show that there were roughly 7.4 million people who were jobless.

According toThe Guardian, the job losses mostly came from the federal government and information sector, reportedly down 348,000 since November 2024. Job gains came from the healthcare, transportation and warehousing, retail, and social assistance sectors where roughly 106,000 new jobs were added.

It is possible that Timmy sent out his applications at the wrong time. He is likely to be told to keep on trying. For better chances, he may want to try the sectors where new jobs were reportedly added to finally land employment.
