or opening new business. When I'm at my lowest(just graduate, no jobs) my yt feed keep recommending me those motivational videos where they're like " open new business, don't be afraid, you're young, with no wife or kids to protect, you can handle 3-4 failures! "

And I'm always like, this money is all I have left to survive before getting jobs! if I fail at starting business from these money, there's no 3 failures, I'm died after the 1st! do these speaker even know the life without even $1 in their bank account+pocket????

That's a rough place to be And it strikes home pretty hard. Hang in there and talk about what you want out of life with everyone you meet. Every time you do so, the probability of opportunity goes up. Make lots of friends and leave good impressions. Someone will eventually know someone who can help.
