Okay, I can't actually get work at the moment, I've ended up in the "precariat" despite my MSc because I didn't understand what would be helpful in the labour market when I was younger. Didn't have a supportive family, to make something of an understatement. So my question is, shall I kill myself? I've worked very hard in physical jobs so it's not laziness, the labour market is just very cruel and is happy to kill me.

There will be more jobs. Or we march in the streets. Don't let the capitalists win. They want people to take the easy way out. Every time they see an article about working class suicides they smile because it means nobody will quit their jobs just for the abuse.
Oh please don't let capitalism kill you.
Deaths of despair, you know? I just want something productive to do that doesn't destroy my mind and body and actually pays a proper living wage. I feel like I've got a lot to offer but I'm not able to work the system like some people. Or even navigate it.
I completely understand. I'm sorry amigo. Do you think maybe some volunteer work would be an idea at least to feel productive?
