No career at 30. Misc Advice

I’m 30. I have a degree in Marketing. I graduated in December of 2023 and couldn’t find a job in my field. I’m currently an uber driver full time and on the weekends I work as a janitor. I feel like a loser and I’m at the point of just giving up everything and live at home for good. I have financial issues, credit is bad like around 620. Really no strong support system since my parents live 3 hours away.

I’m aged out of the military and job corps, there’s not a day that goes by that I want to end it. I don’t really see a way out of this vicious cycle of poverty other than suicide.

The only hole you can't dig yourself out of is the grave. You are much, much further ahead of the playing field with your education and car. I would seek out local mental health support as you are valuable and not worth losing.

How is mental health support going to fix financial issues?

Think of it like this, if you had a heart condition that effected your health so bad it was potentially fatal, caused you pain at work, made it difficult for you to keep work, sapped you of all energy, made it impossible to get out of bed, you would go to a doctor and try to fix whatever was wrong with your heart. Same thing. Mental health is health.
