My UI benefits will be all paid out next week.
Do ppl understand that UI is not forever? That it’s based on your income from your previous job & once you max out your bene’s, you have to wait months (depending on the state) to re-file & hopefully get re-approved.

This is my 2nd time on UI.
It carries a weight & stigma. A feeling of being a failure.
I look at friends, former co-workers & wonder what I did wrong? Where did I mess up? I thought I did all the right things?

I graduated w/ a B.A. in 08’ right @ the start of the recession.
Worked as a barista in 09’ while going to law school. Moved up to Asst. Mgr.
Finally got my J.D. in 14’ cuz $ was tight & had to extend school. All in the hopes of moving up in the world.
Retail Mgr in 16’

I applied to over 1000 jobs all over CA. Nothin.
I didn’t want to work in food/retail, but had to make ends meet.
Ppl thought I wasn’t putting in the effort, networking or trying enough.
So I worked even harder.
Got an MBA in 19’. Built a network & kept trying.

It took moving three states away to finally get a decent job in an area I was going for. Didn’t pay much, but thought it was a stepping stone. A way to move up.
Had that job for 8 months. Then covid hit.
I did what we were told to do. Go to school. Keep trying.

This is just one of a million #millenial stories.
I have no idea what I am doing next & how to make things work. It was hard before. Now, things seems insurmountable.
3 degrees & unemployed
I never would have thought this would happen.
