I'm relatively new to the adult world (22) and neither I nor any of my friends have steady employment. It's great in that I know I'm not alone; it's terrible because there's really no one setting and example.

Recently I was fired from my awful part-time hosting job and I cannot even find another awful part-time food service position. It's been a real blow to the self esteem. Take heart that you're probably doing a better job than me!
