Hard work doesn’t always give you success. Life is more about luck.

I graduated college with a degree in statistics and I currently work at a retail store. I work all 7 days a week so I can pay off my student loans which is about 700 monthly. I have been searching for a job for the past year and a half. I have big resentment towards life. I’m the first child of a very hard working immigrant family. So I’m the hope that they have to break free from poverty. They did everything they can to provide for me growing up. It’s so hard to see my parents still working at their old age like they did for the past 20+ years. All the jobs I apply to need experience. I was thinking if I can’t get a job maybe I can go back to school to get my masters. I applied and got accepted but I can’t go since I get no financial aid assistance. My peers who were asking for my help in class now work at big companies like Amazon, and Microsoft which I don’t understand. I’m grateful for everything I have and being healthy to work. But It’s very disappointing to realize that hard work doesn’t make you more money.
