Man, its so though to trust anyone in today's world. I felt that on my skin last year more then ever. I was at 7 damn interviews for an IT job and I was promised at least on 4 of them that I am getting a job, I just need to wait a little bit for them to 'fix' some intern stuff in the company and they will let me know when I should start working. Nothing happened.
This year some stuff took off in a similar way with one dude that was 'impressed' by my work and he would be happy to hire me. Nothing happened.
Now one dude said he will connect me with couple of entrepreneurs in hope to get a job. To be honest I don't trust neither of them but its a worth a try, because my main goal is just to land that job and stick there to save some money and start my own shit, because this is definitely a sign that I need something on my own and I promised myself that I will be my own boss no matter what but I need some of that capital to start something. Also I started focusing in a last couple of months on finding a legit way to start earning some decent money with really small or 0 capital. By the end of this year I need to make some money flow by myself I don't want to predict some specific number right now but its a must for me. I am pissed. Just work hard and stay disciplined and money will come.
In the end we are definitely on our own no matter how big family we have or how many friends we have.
I think this picture summed it up nicely and I learned it the hard way, but I am glad I did this early in my life.
