Apparently, I'm doing nothing (mini-meltdown)

So, yeah, my 60+ resumes I have sent out so far, plus all the following up I have done, as well as the fact that I devote at LEAST 3 hours to the job search a day, means absolutely nothing to my parents. It's not like in their day; it's hard to find a job. And for an aspie, it's especially hard. But no!

Dear Mom and Dad,
All I hear is "Someone your age would be looking for a job by now." I HAVE BEEN F-ING LOOKING! Maybe not to YOUR specifications, but I have been looking. So you know something? If you keep telling me I do nothing, Mom and Dad, then maybe I will just stop job searching all together and do what I want to do, rather than search for this nonexistent job. I am NOT going to work retail for my career. I'm sorry, but I have a COLLEGE degree, and am NOT someone who would even LIKE doing retail. I find that, now as I have a COLLEGE degree, I should have a job doing something that someone with a COLLEGE degree would do--like getting an actual salary somewhere. And I'm SORRY, but I do NOT do sales. That is a NIGHTMARE for a socially inept person. Even you say I wouldn't like it.

So keep it up, and maybe, just maybe, I'll stop job searching...period. You'd apparently not care, since my efforts evidently have not been up to your standards. -.-

I heard lot of people have troubles finding a job after they get their degree. It took my uncle a year to get one.

Well, it has now cascaded into a full meltdown. I found out that my mom wants me to send out 200+ Resumes a day. What a jerk. I don't even think that's humanly possible, and doesn't like that my dad helps me with folding the resumes and papers. I need help because I'm not that coordinated.

On top of that, even though he says he was joking, my brother laughed at me when I said I wanted to get a career.

I hate life :'(

Oh dear I am very sorry Mutanatia. ^^ I believe I shall also have many happy scary porblems in the even that I leave happy University. Also, as I shall possess a happy Mathematics degree, I may find great difficulty in finding a job. ^^ I wish you much luck with your quest.

Thanks

This sounded really exhausting, good luck,
hope you find something you like to do
soon. And 200 resumes do sound like an
incredibly high number And i think its
nice that your dad helps you, dont see why
that should be a problem.

Folding resumes? I applied for most of the jobs I've had online via email, and included the resume as an attachment. You can send a lot more of them a lot quicker that way.

200 resumes is absurd. Was she exaggerating?

Everyone's having a hard time finding a job these days. Good luck friend.
