>be me>almost 24>have new creative hobby (screenwriting)>almost finished undergrad with nothing to show for it>thinking of grad school or law school>grades not the best (they're mediocre)>not that close with professors >my cv is empty despite applying for many jobs online>i realized that many people get jobs or academic opportunities now due to family or friend connections >i made some friends this year>one of them works for the energy/environment department of my country’s govt>the other just graduated from undergrad and got a marketing firm job and just left that for a paralegal job (if he’s to be believed, he got these jobs through Indeed). He also told me that one of the girls who works there is still in college but only got hired bc her father is friends with one of the senior partners >he once told me over dinner that he would ask the firm if I can work there if they need someone new (he said this in the summer though)>other friend in law school>i volunteered for a local candidate who won his councilor seat though I am not that close to him>etcHow can I play the game and leverage these connections for jobs and resume padding? All I got was an online interview for a summer internship and they ghosted me right after. I’m desperate since I’m still working in a restaurant at almost 24 while I see my peers getting these jobs from connections or being born into the right circumstances. Should I just be direct with my friends and ask them if they can land me jobs at their workplaces (I don’t think this approach would work desu, I’m just throwing it out there), or should I just wait for them to offer me something? How should I approach this? I have been thinking about suicide for a few years now because I am torn between pursuing my creative hobby, dropping out of normieworld, or continuing on within it and confronting my eventual failure. I am sick of being some insincere schmoozer/manipulator, but I also don't want to be a nobody.

Poor op
>>33952173We have 8 billion people on this planet and less than 2 billion jobs total. Of those jobs, more than half are makework and beaurocracy that isn't actually needed but only exists to keep people busy.The simple fact is, OP, you can try and beat the odds by whoring yourself out to peoples' prospective needs, or flood in applications because every one you put out is a non-zero statistical chance of acceptance and just keep rolling the dice until you get lucky. But most people alive on this planet, meaning the overwhelming majority, simply aren't needed here. There isn't anything anyone can do about that, we just need a big war or a super plague or something to wipe out huge swaths of the human race. Until that happens, we have more people than we need by an order of magnitude and some people are going to fall through the cracks no matter how well they prepare as a simple function of statistics.

>>33952173Lie on your resume + use your friends to get contacts into companies => get a remote consulting gig through GLG or other consulting firms=> work on developing your portfolio if screenwriting is your real passion.Also watch this video; not everyone is like this guy but if you tend towards being happy as a jack-of-all-trades this'll inspire you. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=f_Rqf-vxBM8
