I am fresh out of university and as many of my classmates, without a job. I am only 22 so it is not the end of the world, but it is definitely not great either. It took a lot of effort on my end to become a chemist, but the job market has been tight. I started a job two weeks ago, nothing fancy but necessary to pay my bills as I don’t wish to lean on my parents for support. They have done a great job and now it is my time to take care of my life. Knowing that I could rely on them as an absolute safety net does give me a layer of comfort, one many don’t enjoy.
