Seriously, I wanna go 
every time I read some carrer growth opportunity bullshit. It's either a job or it isn't.
I really despise anything remotely related to linkedin or whatever kind of creature dwells in that place. Can everyone do this stuff? Like, is this really how everyone gets a job? I can't deal with all this pretending, everything requires having a linkedin profile, but not only that, you gotta sell yourself somehow. And I don't even use social media.
Well, I have a bachelor's degree from a good University, I'm good at what I do, here's a portfolio. But no, I have to prove I deserve to be selected as a producer of wealth for my potential boss by pretending to be someone else. Can't we all just be practical about this shit? I have to keep trying to put myself into boxes and trying to fit with a sort of profile that I just can't and don't know why.
Am I autistic? Like, do I go get a diagnosis and maybe that will help? Do I go do something on my own? Then I have to figure out what an then sell it, and I'm bad at that. I don't know what to do and I'm tired of trying. (I was almost crying while writing this paragraph).
Honestly though, I just wanted to rant and this is one of the few places I feel safer in. Thanks for reading my 
rambling
What is your degree in?
(No pressure, I'm a Classics B.A.)
Design, in general. Graphic design, products and ergonomics, interior design, UX
Seems like a good degree for the current state of industries, tbh. I think you are struggling with "selling yourself" as a mentality, which is warranted - I hate that shit, too. But, I with a less relevant degree eventually was able to land a job I consider worthy of my ability and you can, also. You may not even need to make a linkedin (I didn't have one because I also hated it); to avoid the network-mill that is linked in, I'd recommend work-shopping your resume to hell and back, getting comfortable in interviews, and getting efficient at applying to jobs via indeed.
I know this advice isn't super clandestine, but still if you want me to go into further detail, please DM (i.e. don't want to wax poetic if you aren't interested).
