Oh yeah. My SIL helped me get some of the temp jobs. I dont know how she knew about them, but she was 6 ft tall with long blond wavy hair, so whatever she wanted, she got. She also pushed me to get a job as a stripper. That didnt work out, im a fat awkward little brunette. But what a positive influence in my life she was. /s

My first computer jobs, i made ridiculously low pay because i didnt know any better. My parents actually laughed at me when i told them. Its not like they or anybody advised me what to ask for. My parents werent trustworthy at all.

From what youve written here, it appears youve had some chances. Nobody has experience before they get a job, yet somehow...?
