I've considered that too but afaik there's a rule in my country that you have to prove your work and education history. Omitting something isn't an issue, but to substitute that with anything else would require paperwork that I just don't have. (And my potential employers have a right to ask for said paperwork.)
It's fucked, intentionally so.
I feel for you, comrade. I've been looking for jobs for more than half a year by now and all I get is denial mails saying the exact same things you mentioned. I remember being told that getting a Master's degree would open all doors for me and that I'd get a super mega great job out of it. Now whenever I get a reply, I'm either too inexperienced, bc I haven't worked yet and "just studied" or they say I'm overqualified for the job, even though my degree makes me the perfect fit for the job. It's not ending, and I don't see it ending any time soon, if ever.
I'm not sure for how long I can still stand this bc it keeps killing me, very slowly and agonizingly.
Obviously not all songs, but Rise Against have some tracks that are "progressive", but more so on the critical spectrum. I'd recommend The Numbers specifically. The video even starts off with a quote from Fanon!
Edit: Was told just now I misunderstood prog rock, so sorry for the switch in genre!
Fuck yes and happy birthday comrade! :crab-party:
Again, not a bad idea, but I'd have to explain away 9 years for both degrees.
Edit: And as someone without any work experience whatsoever, I don't see how omitting the degrees would really help improve my CV.
