23M that's most of my way through an engineering degree. Came home for the summer and need to get a job until I leave for university several dozen miles away come the fall. I want to find an internship or something so I'm actually working in my field. I'm piss-poor at networking so I've been doing the usual thing with Indeed. The problem is that all of this has made me go through a serious depressive cycle that makes me not want to do anything, which in turn makes me more depressed, which makes me not want to do anything, etc.
It's been a month-and-a-half and I have only gotten one interview, and it was with a company that (in hindsight) I was NOT AT ALL qualified to work for (I, understandably, didn't get the job). I don't really have bills to pay, but my mother is essentially breathing down my neck about all of this because I still don't have a job (since she's, you know, paying for another mouth to feed). She keeps bringing up that "X place is hiring" or whatever, but it's a generic retail job that will hire basically anyone that doesn't look like a psychopath. I used to work as a stocker, but I didn't really like it because I'm kinda out of shape and get exhausted when I'm on my feet for too long.
I dunno if I'm just feeling the mythical "millennial entitlement" or whatever, but I don't want to work that kind of job. I've applied for some data entry jobs since I'm getting kinda desperate and know I would do well in that setting, but still nothing. Should I just give up on finding something and just go work for Walmart/McDonalds/whatever just so I can get a paycheck?
